Legal expert Jin Jianzhi has issued a stern warning to prediction market startups with ties to China. In an interview, she emphasized that there is no "absolute safety" or "absolute compliance" for projects if the founding team or user base includes Chinese nationals. To fully avoid risks under Chinese criminal law, startups must meet the stringent criteria of having non-Chinese founders and not targeting Chinese users. However, even under these conditions, entrepreneurs face stringent gambling regulations in most countries worldwide. The views expressed are those of the interviewee and do not represent the platform's stance.
