According to Foresight News, CoinDesk reported that the Web3-based fantasy sports platform Sorare was prosecuted in the UK for providing unlicensed gambling facilities. British regulators said that Sorare did not hold a gambling operating license and was required to appear in Birmingham Magistrates' Court on October 4. Sorare denied the charges.

Sorare, headquartered in Saint-Mande, France, operates fantasy games such as football, basketball and baseball, where users buy and trade cards through NFTs. The company has cooperated with many sports associations such as the Premier League and the Bundesliga.
