The Internet Law in France

Nowadays, a fifth of the total French population is gambling online even though the sector is still not legalized. This number is believed to increase in the following years. That is why the National Assembly of the French Republic is trying to approve as soon as possible a new Internet Law, which will help to regulate the activity and will finish with the monopoly existing in the sector at the moment. The Authority of Online Games Regulation (ARJEL) will be in charge of providing the licence to the new operators, which can only be specialized in three sectors: horse racing, sports betting or poker rooms. We will still have to wait a few months to see which impact this new law will have in the online casinos and poker rooms which are so popular in the country.
