"Polymarket blocked French traders on Friday, weeks after reports that the country's government was investigating the prediction markets juggernaut for gambling law compliance."
"The ban was not reflected in Polymarket's terms of service at press time, but on Friday a reporter using a VPN attempted to access the website from a French server and ran into a digital blockade."
"Polymarket fell into the crosshairs of France's national gaming authority, the ANJ, after a French trader placed massive bets on Donald Trump to win the 2024 U.S. Presidential election."
"The fresh ban was first highlighted on social media by French crypto news site The Big Whale."
Polymarket has blocked access to its platform for French traders following an investigation by France's national gaming authority, ANJ, regarding the platform's compliance with gambling laws. This ban was implemented after notable betting activity related to Donald Trump's potential victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Attempts to access the platform from within France resulted in a digital blockade, which was noted by French crypto news outlets. Polymarket's response and that of the ANJ remain unconfirmed as of the latest update.
