Woofun AI reports that France’s national gambling regulator, ANJ, ordered the blocking of Polymarket’s website within the country on July 17. This action follows a November 2024 prohibition on financial transactions to the platform. The regulator determined that the real-time updating of event odds constitutes advertising, justifying the block despite existing trading restrictions for French accounts. Data indicates that traffic from French IP addresses increased to 578,751 visits in June.
