Goverment looks to change gambling laws
|
 The French government has been considering for some time whether or not to legalize the online gambling market in France. Finally, the decision to legalize online gambling has been made; this will enable them to compete with other major European online casinos, allowing a general increase in the country’s income.
The French lottery Francaise des Jeux and PMU, have been monopolizing the entire gambling market. In their websites, they offer online betting and scratchcards. |
