MPs in France have began to consider amendments to a proposed bill to secure and regulate the digital space, which could lead to the regulation of online casino.

The bill calls for the regulation of “games with monetisable digital objects”, which it names JONUM. This is defined in article 15 of the bill.

If passed, the bill would regulate web3 products like those powering Sorare and Socios, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Article 15 was subject to a number of proposed amendments. Many of these amendments focused on distinguishing JONUM from distinct gambling products.

One amendment proposed adding “by preventing risks of harm to public order” to the title of article 15. The amendment detailed that currently, there is a risk that illegal online casinos could be classified under JONUM.
