Polymarket Blocks French Users Amid Government Investigation into Gambling Law Compliance
Polymarket has blocked users from France following reports of an investigation by the country's gaming authority for compliance with gambling laws. The ban was not stated in Polymarket's terms of service, but French users attempting to access the website using a VPN from a French server were met with a digital blockade. The ANJ, France's national gaming authority, began investigating Polymarket after a French trader placed large bets on Donald Trump winning the 2024 US Presidential election.
