Legalization of gambling in france: Bill
As part of the opening of gambling in France, Budget Minister Eric Woeth presented March 5 last detail of the bill establishing the cadtre where the legalization of gambling will take place. A step that also means the end of the monopoly of the Française des Jeux and PMU in the matter, but nevertheless remains very restrictive.
If this bill is passed by the National Assembly, the French player may therefore look quite legally to other institutions that Francaise des Jeux and the PMU to carry out sports, participate in tournaments and play poker the casino. However, in order to provide protection and security for the consumer, this opening given by the French government this unfortunately limits that frustrating no doubt the real fans of the genre as well as operators. However:
- horse betting, in the form of betting only, as is the case with the PMU and equestrian paths can be made online and via different operators, as the sports betting side bets and fixed-line (the Most online sports betting). Betting too risky or eccentric type which player will receive 1 box of the part or how minute will be made 1 change "will be prohibited to avoid among other dishonest manipulations.
- poker tournaments will also be legalized within a framework that will be determined
- Some casino games are allowed but limited in number
Among the good things, players will be required to possess a bank account in France and the time elapsed since the start of the game and, where applicable, the amount of money lost will be displayed on the screen. Players who wish will also have the opportunity to exclude themselves as is the case in terrestrial casinos. Online institutions licensed to practice in France must also pay a share of their profits to organizations that help problem gamblers, and some taxes will go to amateur sports clubs and another will go to the renovation of historic French .
In return, the amount will be limited updates (the only question is to what extent), and the rate of redistribution of the gains will be capped at 80-85% maximum ... This means that if the bill passes as it stands, the players line gain 15 to 20% less money than at present. Surprising that a measure will certainly be against the interests of the players. Moreover, although the bill provides that certain casino games will be allowed, most remain prohibited, not least because the roulette or slot machines will be prohibited because of the risks of addiction. What do grind your teeth when you know that games are the most appreciated by fans by far.
In the same way, the gambling establishments in line with a European license, as is the case with many now, are not permitted to accept the French players. One of the main points of disagreement with Brussels as this goes against the principle of free movement of goods and services and competition within the European Union.
To conclude, this bill represents an interesting step forward compared to the current situation but still seems sluggish compared to the expectations of players online gambling operators and European bodies. But nothing has yet been reached and perhaps that future negotiations with key stakeholders will further improve the situation. Also remains to be seen how will the EU react to monitor this issue very ready for nearly 2 years now.
