According to BlockBeats, on September 28, the UK Gambling Commission accused Web3 fantasy sports company Sorare of providing unlicensed gambling facilities. The French company will appear in a British court on October 4.

British media quoted Sorare's response as saying: "We are aware of the Gambling Commission's allegations and have instructed our UK lawyers to challenge them. We strongly deny any claim that Sorare is a gambling product under UK law. The Commission has misunderstood our business and wrongly determined that gambling laws apply to Sorare."

Sorare offers collectible digital cards in the form of NFTs. Players can compete with their fantasy teams assembled in NFTs, and the performance of athletes is judged based on their real-world activities that week. The overall success of the player's team is tracked through points. Players can participate in European football, baseball, and basketball competitions.
