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.
