France Orders ISPs to Block Access to Polymarket

Published by admin on

France’s regulatory authority for licensed gambling/betting games announced this week that it ordered ISPs to block access to Polymarket. Anyone caught advertising an unauthorized betting site “could be fined up to 100,000 euros, or around $114,000.” (The article notes this follows a previous regulatory action from November placing a geoblock on financial transactions from French residents on Polymarket’s site.)

In May Spain blocked access to Polymarket and Kalshi while it launched a gambling license investigation.
