ANJ orders Polymarket blocked in France over unauthorised betting offer

Enforcement & compliance

France’s ANJ ordered an administrative block on Polymarket, saying its prediction-market services amount to unauthorised gambling. The regulator said Adventure One QSS Inc., the platform’s parent, had introduced restrictions on financial transactions from France, but users continued to access the service.

The order highlights regulatory action against unauthorised prediction-market gambling, while continued access remains a concern.
