France orders ISPs to block Polymarket

France’s gambling regulator, the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ), has ordered Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the country to block access to Polymarket. In a statement released on Friday, the ANJ framed the action as part of France’s continued strong stance on prediction market platforms.

The order targets access to Polymarket specifically and is intended to cover the entire national territory. The ANJ said the block applies across the country, marking a regulator-led move to cut off access to this prediction market platform.

This step follows France’s broader approach of strict regulation for prediction markets and underscores the ANJ’s role in enforcing those rules at an access level.
