Callitnow does not hold a traditional gambling license, in the same way platforms like Polymarket do not. Our position is that a prediction market is not house-banked gambling: there is no house, no bookmaker and no odds set against you. Callitnow is never the counterparty to your trade — you buy event shares peer-to-peer with other users, and the platform's role is matching trades and settling outcomes. Gambling licenses exist to regulate operators who profit when their customers lose; we do not.
We are transparent about the flip side: regulators do not all agree with that view. Financial and gambling authorities in several countries — including Spain, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Germany — classify decentralized event contracts on platforms like Polymarket as unlicensed gambling. Where a regulator has taken that position, we respect it rather than argue with it:

This restriction is enforced when you sign up, based on the country you connect from. Attempting to evade it (for example with a VPN) is a breach of the terms and can cost you your account and any balance built while evading it. Nothing on this page is legal advice — it is your responsibility to confirm that using a prediction market is legal where you live.
