Recently, Ukraine blocked Polymarket, a fairly popular prediction market platform. They included it in broader online gambling crackdowns. It made me wonder, is trading considered gambling? Because on one hand, Polymarket is a place where people trade prediction contracts, but the government sees it as a form of gambling. It's also interesting how regulations in various countries are becoming stricter about this. It seems they are worried about the risks being too high for users. So, what exactly is the difference between regular trading and what is considered gambling? Does it depend on leverage, volatility, or how the platform is regulated? I'm curious how these regulations will develop in other countries.
