Online reports that Polymarket has blocked French users and warned against trying to circumvent the blockade. According to a social media post, Polymarket now includes French users on its restricted user list. Weeks after the country's gaming regulator allegedly said it would ban forecasting markets, it emerged that French users are now unable to access Polymarket. However, some French Polymarket users on social media platform X said they still access the prediction market through virtual private network (VPN) applications.
