France’s gambling regulator, ANJ, has placed the reduction of excessive gambling at the heart of its new strategy, calling for a sector-wide shift away from reliance on high-risk players and intensive gambling models.
In its latest annual report, the ANJ outlined its 2024–2026 roadmap, which aims to turn existing obligations to identify and support problem gamblers into measurable results.
Specifically, the regulator wants to see a concrete drop in the number of excessive gamblers and their share of operator revenues by the end of the cycle.
France’s voluntary self-exclusion register is growing at a rate of 20% per year, with 85,000 individuals currently listed — more than double the figure in 2021.
