Summary
France’s gambling regulator has ordered ISPs to block Polymarket, calling it an illegal gambling site despite its claims as a financial trading platform. With users easily bypassing prior bans via VPNs and the site’s real-time odds fueling addictive behavior, regulators are cracking down — joining over 30 countries in restricting the platform. Fines up to 100,000 euros loom, as governments worldwide struggle to classify and control prediction markets amid growing regulatory scrutiny.
