Probably not, no. I would be very surprised if the sports betting shops didn't have some sort of "force majeure" clauses.

That seems like a good safeguard.

I don’t see any force majeure clauses here https://polymarket.com/event/trump-out-as-president-before-2... but maybe they’re hidden in the fine print?
