Polymarket, a popular prediction market platform, has blocked users from France amidst an ongoing investigation by the country's gaming authority regarding compliance with gambling laws. The ban was observed when a reporter used a VPN to access the platform from a French server. The investigation began after a French trader placed significant bets on Donald Trump winning the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Polymarket and the gaming authority have not yet provided any official comments on the matter.
