Globe says Polymarket makes a joke out of OSC's ban

2026-04-02 08:27 ET - In the News

See In the News (C-*OSC) Ontario Securities Commission

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that flyers promoting U.S.-based prediction market platform Polymarket were distributed outside Rogers Centre during the Toronto Blue Jays home-opener weekend, despite a 2025 Ontario Securities Commission ruling prohibiting the company from operating or advertising in the province. The Globe's Meera Raman writes that outside a security line on Saturday afternoon, people were handing out free doughnuts to Jays fans while passing them flyers. Offering a free $20 with the use of a promotional code, the flyers encourage people to scan a QR code to "place a trade on today's game." The link directs users to download the Polymarket app, but the app is not available in Canada. The flyer also features the Blue Jays logo and says Polymarket is an "Official Partner of MLB," or Major League Baseball. A Blue Jays official said the club was not aware that these flyers were being distributed. The flyer's promotion of Polymarket potentially blurs the line for investors between what is legally offered and what remains off-limits. In Canada, regulators have largely limited access, citing investor protection concerns: Short-term "yes-or-no" contracts, known as binary options, are banned.
