DeepState UA has stated that no betting service has permission to integrate with DeepStateMap. The team emphasized that they are not associated with any platform claiming to have "connected" to their data. The project considers the use of the map for betting on war as entirely unacceptable.
DeepState believes that a third-party resource may have accessed their data either through a free API intended for humanitarian purposes or by using parsers. In response to systematic attempts at unauthorized data use, the team has tightened API control and switched to individual keys.
Following DeepState UA's public statement, the Pentagon Pizza Watch service, responsible for this integration, issued an apology and announced the complete removal of the function. The service stated that it "incorrectly assumed" that the public endpoint could be used freely and promised not to access DeepState's data without explicit permission in the future.
Pentagon Pizza Watch is a project based on Polyglobe and is used by traders for betting on Polymarket, where prediction markets related to war events are created. The presence of DeepStateMap data in these markets through Pentagon Pizza Watch triggered public outrage and a response from DeepState UA.
