France orders internet providers to block access to Polymarket prediction site

SUMMARY

France has ordered internet providers to block the Polymarket prediction site. The gambling regulator ANJ stated this action enforces a previous ban on financial transactions to the site. Despite an existing ban, visits to Polymarket from France have increased significantly.

The ANJ highlights that Polymarket, which offers betting on future events, constitutes unauthorized advertising. Violations can lead to fines up to €100,000. This move is part of a broader trend, with several European countries also restricting access to online prediction markets.
