France’s igaming legalisation remains uncertain amid political instability
France’s efforts to legalise igaming remain uncertain after political instability ended work on a draft bill under Michel Barnier’s government. ANJ president Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin described the market as active, while legal partner Annabelle Richard said uncertainty over the government’s duration weakened prospects for regulation. The previous government had planned consultations after opposition from land-based casinos.
Operators and investors lack clarity on whether France will introduce a regulated igaming market.
