France’s L’Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) has approved mandated industry harm reduction action plans but has ordered the country’s two monopolies and operators to strengthen actions.
Since October 2019, French gambling operators have been obligated to submit to the ANJ action plans to prevent excessive play and underage gambling for review and approval.
Between January and March this year, the ANJ examined the action plans of the country’s monopolies PMU and FDJ United, as well as its online operators and land-based sites. France has 16 licensed online gaming operators and 203 casinos.
While the French regulator has approved the industry’s action plans, it wants stricter compliance, in particular on the ban of sales to children.
