法国打击加密货币博彩平台 Polymarket

法国博彩监管机构国家博彩管理局 (ANJ) 计划很快阻止对该网站的访问。这一举措是经过数月讨论后做出的

France is set to ban access to crypto betting platform Polymarket, following a surge in betting activity during the recent U.S. presidential election.

在最近美国总统大选期间投注活动激增之后，法国将禁止访问加密货币投注平台 Polymarket。

France's gambling regulator, the National Gaming Authority (ANJ), plans to block access to the site soon, according to a report by The Big Whale on Friday.

据 The Big Whale 周五报道，法国博彩监管机构国家博彩管理局 (ANJ) 计划很快阻止对该网站的访问。

This move comes amid increasing scrutiny of betting activities from Polymarket by regulators worldwide.

此举是在全球监管机构对 Polymarket 博彩活动日益严格的审查之际做出的。

The platform allows users to bet on the outcomes of various events, including sports games, political results, and even future stock prices. It uses cryptocurrency to facilitate these bets, setting it apart from other platforms.

该平台允许用户对各种事件的结果进行投注，包括体育比赛、政治结果，甚至未来的股票价格。它使用加密货币来促进这些投注，这使其与其他平台区分开来。

Polymarket's user-friendly approach has attracted millions of users globally. During the U.S. presidential election, people from around the world bet over $3.2 billion on the platform, including a staggering $294 million on a single day, November 5, according to Dune data.

Polymarket 的用户友好方式吸引了全球数百万用户。根据 Dune 的数据，在美国总统大选期间，来自世界各地的人们在该平台上下注超过 32 亿美元，其中 11 月 5 日单日下注金额高达 2.94 亿美元。

However, betting on such events is prohibited in France. The country has strict regulations governing gambling activities, and a source close to the ANJ stated that Polymarket's activities are classified as gambling, which is not permitted in France.

然而，法国禁止对此类赛事进行投注。该国对赌博活动有严格的规定，接近 ANJ 的消息人士表示，Polymarket 的活动被归类为赌博，这在法国是不允许的。

“Even if Polymarket uses cryptocurrencies in its operations, it remains a betting activity, and this is not legal in France,” the source explained.

“即使 Polymarket 在其运营中使用加密货币，它仍然是一种投注活动，这在法国是不合法的，”消息人士解释道。

According to The Big Whale, William O’Rorke, a partner at ORWL Avocats,簡潔明了地表示道，“Polymarket 在本质上属于赌博。用户在某件随机发生的事情上押注金钱，就好比体育比赛一样。”O’Rorke 表示，此定义完全符合赌博的定义，而由于 Polymarket 并不像受监管金融公司那样拥有特定的金融或投资规则，因此 ANJ 有权封禁它——即使 Polymarket 并未直接瞄准法国用户。

France's National Gaming Authority believes that Polymarket's setup, where users bet on uncertain events, falls under gambling. Despite using cryptocurrency in its operations, the platform functions similarly to traditional betting sites, a form of online gambling that is currently not covered by French regulations.

法国国家博彩管理局认为，Polymarket 的设置（用户对不确定事件进行投注）属于赌博行为。尽管在运营中使用加密货币，但该平台的功能与传统博彩网站类似，这是一种目前不受法国法规管辖的在线博彩形式。

The ANJ is now poised to block French users from accessing Polymarket, a move that many believe will herald tighter controls over crypto-based betting platforms across Europe.

ANJ 现在准备阻止法国用户访问 Polymarket，许多人认为此举将预示着整个欧洲对加密博彩平台的更严格控制。

As gambling laws encounter new challenges posed by crypto-based platforms, regulators around the world will likely be monitoring closely how France handles the ban on Polymarket.

随着赌博法遇到加密平台带来的新挑战，世界各地的监管机构可能会密切关注法国如何处理 Polymarket 禁令。
