Polymarket has blocked users in France following an investigation by the French gaming regulator. This move comes after a French trader drew scrutiny for placing $45 million in bets on Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election. Prior to this, Polymarket was a popular prediction market in France, but U.S. users had already been blocked due to previous regulatory issues. On November 22, 2024, users in France encountered a pop-up message stating that trading is not available to individuals in the U.S., France, or other restricted areas. This action appears to be a preemptive measure by Polymarket amid concerns of potential bans from the French authority, the ANJ, on the platform.
