Polymarket has vowed to fight the French gambling regulator’s block of its platform.
The New York firm argues that the Autorité Nationale des Jeux’s (ANJ) block against its French online presence “targets people going to Playmarket purely for information, not to trade”.
Polymarket is adamant that “most people come to Polymarket solely to learn the probability of future events relevant to their everyday life with no intention to trade” and that “prediction markets help source truth”.
“We are disappointed by the French gaming authority’s sudden decision to unilaterally block our website – we intend to challenge this decision through the legal process in France,” Polymarket’s statement reads.
