France's gambling regulator ANJ has ordered ISPs to block access to Polymarket, alleging the platform offers illegal gambling services — per Reuters.
ANJ cited manipulation risks and said the block remains until Polymarket complies with French gambling regulations. Spain previously banned both Polymarket and Kalshi in May.
𝗛𝘂𝗽𝘇𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲: This is a direct regulatory action against an integrated platform — French users lose access, reducing European liquidity. The pattern is 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Spain in May, France in July — EU regulators are converging on a hostile stance toward prediction markets that bypass national gambling frameworks. For traders, reduced European participation means thinner market depth on Polymarket over time, potentially widening spreads and degrading price discovery on political/event markets. Watch for whether other EU regulators follow.
