Polymarket Tightens Access Restrictions in France Amid Regulatory Inquiries

Polymarket 在監管調查中收緊法國准入限制

Prediction marketplace Polymarket has expanded its access restrictions to include users in France following reports of an investigation into its compliance with local gambling regulations.

預測市場 Polymarket 已擴大其訪問限制，將法國用戶納入其中，此前有報導稱，對其遵守當地賭博法規的情況進行了調查。

Access Limitations

訪問限制

While Polymarket has yet to issue an official statement, a message now displays for users accessing the platform from France, indicating that it is in "view-only mode." This means that French users can view information but are unable to engage in any trading activities.

雖然 Polymarket 尚未發表官方聲明，但現在將向從法國訪問該平台的用戶顯示一條訊息，表明該平台處於「僅供查看模式」。這意味著法國用戶可以查看訊息，但無法進行任何交易活動。

Regulatory Considerations

監管考慮

The new restrictions stem from allegations that the National Gaming Authority (ANJ), responsible for regulating online gambling in France, is investigating Polymarket's compliance with French law. This scrutiny reportedly emerged following the significant winnings (approximately $80 million) earned by a French citizen known as "Théo" ("Fredi9999") after betting on Donald Trump's presidential victory.

新的限制源於負責監管法國線上賭博的國家博彩管理局 (ANJ) 正在調查 Polymarket 遵守法國法律的情況。據報道，這項審查是在一位名叫“Théo”（“Fredi9999”）的法國公民押注唐納德·特朗普當選總統後贏得巨額獎金（約 8000 萬美元）之後出現的。

According to an ANJ official quoted in a recent interview with The Block, the organization is examining Polymarket to ensure its adherence to French gambling regulations. This follows heightened attention to Théo's betting activities and a surge in platform engagement during the US election.

據 The Block 最近接受採訪時引述 ANJ 官員的話稱，該組織正在審查 Polymarket，以確保其遵守法國賭博法規。在此之前，美國大選期間，Théo 的博彩活動受到了高度關注，平台參與度也隨之激增。

Pending Resolution

待決決議

While the ANJ has not formally communicated any policy changes affecting French users, Polymarket has proactively restricted access to its platform in France. A company spokesperson stated that "Users in France can continue to access Polymarket for critical information, but new trades have been paused while we engage with stakeholders in the country."

雖然 ANJ 尚未正式傳達任何影響法國用戶的政策變化，但 Polymarket 已主動限制對其法國平台的存取。該公司發言人表示，“法國用戶可以繼續訪問 Polymarket 以獲取重要信息，但在我們與該國利益相關者接觸期間，新交易已暫停。”
