Polymarket, the world’s largest online prediction market, ruled that last weekend’s US military operation did not count as an “invasion."

Gamblers are revolting after Polymarket refused to pay out on bets that the US would invade Venezuela.

The backlash followed a dramatic US operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and first lady Cilia Flores and transported them to the United States.

Dozens were reportedly killed in the special forces raid that resulted in Maduro's capture.

Visitors to the site noticed that newly created accounts won large sums of money by betting that Maduro would be deposed.
