Social media reports suggest that Polymarket has blocked French users and warned against attempts to circumvent the block. According to one social media post, Polymarket now includes France-based users on its list of restricted users. Claims that Polymarket is now inaccessible to French users emerged a few weeks after the country’s gambling regulator reportedly said it would ban the predictions market. However, some French Polymarket users on the social media platform X said they were still accessing the predictions market through virtual private network (VPN) apps.
