France is set to undertake a six-month consultation to assess whether the country will regulate online casino in 2025, thus drawing a line under the question of timing and whether the vertical could be regulated this year.
The news follows the meeting of French gambling stakeholders that was organized by Budget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin this week and comes in the wake of its amendment to legalize online casino nearly three weeks ago.
Around 50 delegates from the country’s casino, horse racing and online gambling sectors, along with MPs and representatives from mayoral associations and player protection groups, were present at the event on Wednesday.
