Los mercados de predicción siguen siendo populares en Hong Kong a pesar de las advertencias

Los residentes de Hong Kong continúan utilizando plataformas como Polymarket y Kalshi para apostar en política y otros temas, incluso después de recibir advertencias oficiales.

Un residente francés de 25 años llamado Jean Pierre comenzó a utilizar Polymarket el año pasado en busca de dinero fácil. Realizó apuestas sobre eventos políticos, incluyendo si Sanae Takaichi se convertiría en la primera ministra de Japón, así como sobre los movimientos a corto plazo del precio de Bitcoin.

Jean Pierre apostó cerca de 1.500 HK$ durante el último año y llegó a alcanzar brevemente 4.000 HK$ en ganancias antes de perderlo todo. Describió la actividad como un juego de azar, ya que los resultados no pueden conocerse de antemano.

Las plataformas siguen activas entre los usuarios de Hong Kong a pesar de las previas advertencias oficiales emitidas antes de la Copa del Mundo.
