Kalshi's taker fee is 0.07 × contracts × price × (1 − price), times the series multiplier (1 by default) and rounded up to the next cent, so it peaks at 1.75¢ per contract at a 50¢ price. Resting (maker) orders are free on standard series and pay a fee only on the series Kalshi lists with maker fees.
Country-by-country rules, regulator actions and sources for Polymarket and Kalshi.
This is not legal advice, and we don't say whether trading is legal for you in Spain. We report what each platform's published rules say about Spain and the public regulator, court and police actions we could source, each with a date. Those rules change fast, so check the platform's current terms and the law in Spain before doing anything. ‘Not listed’ only means a platform's own list doesn't name Spain; it doesn't mean trading there is permitted.

This page keeps two things apart for Spain: what each platform's own published rules say, and what regulators, courts and police in Spain have publicly done. A platform's list is its own policy and a government order is the government's, so a country can be on one and not the other.
The status labels are the same as in the main table. Restricted means the platform's own list blocks trading from Spain. Close-only means existing users there can close positions but can't open new ones. Some regions means only named regions are restricted. Separate product means residents use a different, separately regulated product, as US residents do with the Polymarket US app. Not listed means the platform's published list doesn't name Spain; that is not the same as permitted, and a regulator may still block the site.
Polymarket publishes two official lists that don't fully match: its Help Center page (updated August 14, 2026) and its developer docs (undated). We follow the dated Help Center list and say where the developer docs differ. Kalshi statuses follow its Member Agreement as fetched on September 24, 2026; the agreement itself is undated.
Each action shows the authority as it names itself, what it did, the platform it concerns and the date: the date of the action where it was published, otherwise the date it was first reported. Every entry is marked Official, Platform document or Secondary report. Where only secondary reporting exists, we say ‘reported by’ and name the outlet; where official sources conflict, we report both.
‘No public action found’ means our searches found none, not that none exists. Nothing on this page says whether trading is legal for you: for that, check the platforms' current terms and the law in Spain.
Spain is on neither of Polymarket's official lists. The Help Center page on geographic restrictions (updated August 14, 2026) doesn't name Spain among the 39 countries it calls blocked or in its close-only group, and the undated developer geoblock docs (checked September 24, 2026) don't name it either, so the two lists agree. Under this site's labels Spain is Not listed for Polymarket. That describes Polymarket's own policy only: the restriction in Spain comes from the regulator, not from the platform, and Polymarket has published no Spain-specific notice that we could find. Its Spanish-language site (polymarket.com/es) remains indexed.
Block type: a precautionary block (bloqueo cautelar) that the DGOJ ordered on May 26, 2026 to providers in Spanish territory, pending the outcome of the sanction proceedings. The official notices don't say whether the block works at DNS or IP level or which providers it covers, and no provider has publicly confirmed applying it; the trade outlet Sector del Juego reported on June 3, 2026 that the block was in place. We found no app-store removal in Spain and no public response from Polymarket (CoinDesk, Sector del Juego, merca2 and Infobae all record none). Polymarket's Help Center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use.
Kalshi's Member Agreement (section VI, Restricted Jurisdictions, undated, fetched September 24, 2026) doesn't name Spain, and Spain wasn't in Kalshi's Exchange Notices of October 23 or November 4, 2025 either, so under this site's labels Spain is Not listed for Kalshi. Kalshi's help center (updated March 20, 2026) says trading from outside the US is subject to the Member Agreement. We found no Kalshi blog post or notice that names Spain, and no public response from Kalshi to the Spanish action.
Kalshi is nonetheless named in the Spanish action: the DGOJ's sanction proceedings of May 26, 2026 and the precautionary block order cover Kalshi as well as Polymarket. Spain and Brazil are the only two countries PolyKal tracks where a government has ordered Kalshi blocked while Kalshi's own list omits the country, and among the EU countries PolyKal tracks, only Spain's sanction proceeding and Italy's ADM blacklist (effective July 27, 2026) name Kalshi in a formal measure. Kalshi's ‘not listed’ status therefore describes its own policy, not the position of the Spanish authorities.
The regulator is the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ), the gambling directorate of the Ministerio de Derechos Sociales, Consumo y Agenda 2030 (‘Consumo’). It acts under Ley 13/2011, de 27 de mayo, de regulación del juego, the gambling law that requires a Spanish licence (título habilitante) for gambling offered in Spain. The DGOJ's stated reasoning is that prediction markets ‘have the nature of a game of chance when bets are placed on uncertain future outcomes’ (‘los mercados de predicción tienen naturaleza de juego de azar cuando se apuesta sobre resultados futuros inciertos’), that the platforms operate ‘without the compulsory administrative authorisation’ and that they lack identity-verification systems and controls keeping out minors and self-excluded people. Neither official notice cites specific articles of the law, and we don't add any. Spain's securities regulator, the CNMV, has made no public statement naming either platform that we could find. The DGOJ signed the joint statement of nine European gambling regulators on prediction markets of June 18–19, 2026.
May 25–26, 2026 (Official). Consumo's press release is dated Monday, May 25, 2026 and the DGOJ's notice May 26, 2026; the opening of the proceedings was notified by publication in the Boletín Oficial del Estado on May 26 because, Consumo said, attempts to notify the operators directly at their known foreign addresses ‘were unsuccessful’ (reported by AZARplus on May 27, 2026 and by Infobae/EFE on May 26, 2026). The DGOJ opened a sanction proceeding (expediente sancionador) against Polymarket and Kalshi for offering gambling without the compulsory authorisation and ordered the precautionary blocking of both websites in Spanish territory while the proceeding runs; Consumo said a resolution was expected ‘within three to four months’. The action targets the operators and names no users. Press described it as the first direct regulatory action against prediction markets in Spain (Sector del Juego, May 27, 2026; CoinDesk, May 26, 2026). Our timeline dates the action May 26, 2026, the date of the DGOJ notice and of the BOE publication.
Status: as of September 26, 2026 no resolution of the proceeding, whether a fine or a closure, had been published, although the three-to-four-month estimate had passed. We found no court challenge by either platform, no lifted or reversed measure and no further DGOJ notice naming the platforms. That means we found none, not that none exists.

Public regulator, court and police actions concerning Polymarket and Kalshi in Spain, as of 2026-09-24. Not legal advice.
This section reports what the law and the authorities in Spain have said about people who take part in these markets, and any enforcement against users that has been made public. It describes; it doesn't advise.
Both the proceedings and the block are directed at the operators. Ley 13/2011's sanction regime addresses those who offer gambling; the official notices mention participants only as people to be protected, minors and self-excluded players in particular, and state no penalty for people in Spain who use the platforms. Consumo framed the measure as consumer protection.
We found no prosecution of, or penalty against, a Spanish user of either platform, no statement by the tax agency (Agencia Tributaria) specific to prediction-market winnings, and no Spanish bank restriction naming the platforms. Whether trading is lawful for you is not something this page decides.
Spain moved in the same week as Indonesia's block of Polymarket (dated May 22, 2026 in our table and reported on May 25–26) and a month after Brazil's federal block of April 24, 2026, and Infobae/EFE framed the three as a widening crackdown. Press described the Spanish action as the first direct regulatory action against prediction markets in Spain (Sector del Juego, May 27, 2026). We found no sponsorship, election-authority statement or payment-rail fact specific to Spain, and neither platform has commented publicly on the proceedings.
PolyKal is a read-only research site, and it does not restrict access by country, including from Spain. Its public pages, including prices on both platforms, order-book depth, after-fee cost comparisons, the fee calculator, and large-trade and whale data, need no account. You don't need a VPN to use them.
Viewing public market data is not trading. PolyKal doesn't place orders, hold funds or give access to trading on either platform, and a restriction on Polymarket or Kalshi in Spain still applies to trading there. Polymarket's help center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use, and Kalshi's Member Agreement excludes people in its restricted jurisdictions; getting around a block can also break local law. PolyKal doesn't help anyone get around them.
Start with the compare page, the fee calculator or large trades, or read how Polymarket works and how Kalshi works.
Spain is one of 27 countries, plus the United States, that PolyKal tracks. The full availability table shows every country's status under each platform's rules and its regulator actions side by side, with the same dates and sources as this page, and its change log lists every edit we make.
Every entry is re-checked at least once a quarter, and sooner when a platform or regulator announces a change. The next scheduled full re-check is shown in the sidebar.
By the regulator, yes. On May 26, 2026 the DGOJ ordered the precautionary blocking of polymarket.com in Spanish territory while its sanction proceeding against Polymarket runs; Sector del Juego reported the block in place on June 3, 2026, though no provider has confirmed it publicly and the technical method wasn't published. Polymarket's own lists don't name Spain, so the block comes from the Spanish authorities, not from the platform.
Kalshi's Member Agreement doesn't list Spain as a restricted jurisdiction (checked September 24, 2026), which describes Kalshi's policy only. Separately, the DGOJ's sanction proceeding of May 26, 2026 and its precautionary block order name Kalshi as well as Polymarket, on the ground that both offer gambling in Spain without the compulsory licence. Whether trading is lawful for you is not something this page decides.
According to the DGOJ's notice of May 26, 2026, because both platforms offer what Spanish law treats as gambling, betting on uncertain future outcomes, without the licence that Ley 13/2011 requires, and without identity checks or controls keeping out minors and self-excluded players. The block is a precautionary measure while the sanction proceeding runs; Consumo expected a resolution within three to four months, and none had been published as of September 26, 2026.
We don't give a verdict for you. What the record shows: the DGOJ's position is that prediction markets are gambling under Ley 13/2011 and that Polymarket and Kalshi offer it in Spain without the compulsory licence, which is why it opened sanction proceedings and ordered both sites blocked on May 26, 2026. Those measures target the operators; the official notices state no penalty for users, and we found no enforcement against a Spanish user. For your own situation, check the current law and the platform's terms.
Yes, on PolyKal. PolyKal is a read-only research site that shows prices, order-book depth and fee comparisons for both platforms without an account, and it does not restrict access from Spain. Viewing data is not trading: PolyKal places no orders and gives no access to either platform, and the DGOJ's block order of May 26, 2026 concerns the platforms' own sites, which nothing on this site changes.
No. Polymarket's help center says that using a VPN to get around its restrictions violates its Terms of Use, and Kalshi's Member Agreement excludes people in its restricted jurisdictions. Getting around a block can also break local law. You don't need a VPN to research these markets: PolyKal's prices, order books and fee calculator don't require one.
