TechFlow News — On November 22, according to CoinDesk, decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket announced it has suspended access for users in France. The move comes weeks after the French National Gaming Authority (ANJ) launched a gambling compliance investigation into the platform.
The investigation reportedly stems from a large bet placed by a French trader on Donald Trump winning the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Although Polymarket has implemented IP address blocking, users can still access the platform via VPNs, according to French cryptocurrency news site The Big Whale. At the time of publication, Polymarket’s terms of service had not yet been updated to reflect these restrictions.
