Polymarket Blocks French Users Amid Regulatory Scrutiny
Blockchain-based prediction platform Polymarket has blocked French users following an investigation by French gaming regulator Autorité Nationale des Jeux. The restriction prevents French users from placing bets or trading on Polymarket, although the platform is still accessible in view-only mode. The move comes amid scrutiny over the platform’s compliance with French gambling laws and controversy after a French trader placed a large bet on Donald Trump winning the 2024 US presidential election.
