France’s gambling regulator is examining the operations of cryptocurrency-based prediction markets platform Polymarket to see if it complies with local rules following a surge in user demand around the US presidential election.

“We are aware of this site and are currently examining its operation and compliance with French gambling legislation,” an Autorité Nationale des Jeux spokesperson for the regulator told Bloomberg News on Thursday. The ANJ is expected to ban access to Polymarket for French users, crypto news outlet The Big Whale reported late Wednesday.
