ANJ president questions risks of regulating online casino gambling in France
ANJ president Isabelle Falque-Pierottin questioned the potential impact of regulating online casino gambling in France at the AFJEL annual conference. She cited 1.4 million problem gamblers and 400,000 excessive gamblers, and said the effect of adding addictive products needed consideration; Betclic chief executive Nicolas Béraud argued that the existing illegal market should be brought into a legal framework.
Operators and regulators face competing concerns over channeling illegal-market activity and potential gambling harms.
