Polymarket, a blockchain-based prediction market, has restricted access for French users due to a government investigation into its compliance with national gambling laws. The platform allows users to bet on real-world outcomes using cryptocurrency, and the decision to block French users came amid increased scrutiny from France’s national gaming authority, the ANJ.
While some users have managed to circumvent the restriction using VPNs, the investigation highlights the challenges decentralized platforms face when navigating different regulatory landscapes.
