France Votes For Legal Online Casino Gambling

France’s National Assembly has voted in favor of legalised online gambling which will
result in the French opening up the legal online gambling market to foreign operators.
This bill needs to be approved by the European Union, the French Supreme Court and the
Constitutional Court. The hope is that the bill finally become law in time for French
citizens to place a bet on the World Cup to be held in South Africa this summer. The
gambling monopolies in France have taken significant steps to compete in an online gambling
market where more experience offshore gambling operators will be able to compete for players.

Party Gaming and Paddy Power already have licensing agreements related to the online
gambling industry in France. Many of the top online gambling companies that cator to
European players will definitely be acquiring a license from the French government
to offer their respected brands to French online gamblers.
