Ballon d’Or owner prepares complaint over Polymarket bets on top five order
Groupe Amaury, which owns France Football and runs the Ballon d'Or, is preparing a complaint over Polymarket bets that correctly predicted this year's top five in exact order before the Oct. 26 ceremony. French outlet Upside, which first flagged the bets, published blockchain tracing on Oct. 29 linking one of the accounts to the activity. Traders should watch this as a test of prediction-market integrity and legal exposure, since a formal complaint could invite scrutiny of Polymarket's event contracts and insider-style betting.
