France withdraws proposed online casino measures from 2025 budget
France’s Budget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin said the government would not submit proposed amendments to the 2025 budget on online casinos, citing the need for further consultation. The proposal’s withdrawal leaves the 2010 gambling laws in place, under which online casino activities are prohibited; the plans had included a proposed 27.8% levy on online casinos’ gross gaming revenue.
Operators and investors will not see the proposed online casino market changes proceed through the 2025 budget at this stage.
