From TheBigWhale:

The ANJ, France's gambling regulator, is expected to ban access to the site in the near future. The cryptocurrency prediction platform was a big hit during the US elections.

For context, the top of the Polymarket leaderboards are dominated by the Frenchman Fredi/Theo (he has more alts beyond this):

Is this report legit, or nonsense?

For reference, access to Polymarket in the US would clear this bar, even if plenty of Americans still use the site.

  • Update 2024-11-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - A proactive/voluntary pause of trading by Polymarket during an ongoing regulatory investigation will not be sufficient for a YES resolution

    • For YES, there must be evidence that the restriction was ordered/mandated by regulators rather than voluntarily implemented by Polymarket

    • Official statements from Polymarket will be weighed against other credible reporting to determine if the action was truly voluntary
