French casino operators are ready to consult with the government on all the key issues following withdrawal of online casino amendment from the Budget 2025.

Casinos de France, the trade body representing the country’s 200 French land-based casinos, has told Gaming&Co that it is looking forward to discussing online casino regulations when it meets with the government next week, and reiterated its call for the country’s physical casinos to be given priority to operate the vertical digitally.

Philippe Bon, CEO of CdF, said that the organisation was also willing to study the different regulatory formats that could be proposed by members of AFJEL, the French online gaming association, but that there had been no contact between the two groups.
