France requires ISPs to block Polymarket access

French gambling regulator ordered internet providers to block Polymarket, citing concerns over addictive mechanics and lack of self-exclusion tools. It classified Polymarket as an illegal gambling site, not a financial trading platform. Over 30 countries have restricted Polymarket, mainly due to complaints about weather-related bets and a prominent French trader's influence.
