France’s top gambling authority, ANJ, has taken a firm stance on the future of online casino regulation, calling for a “highly controlled” approach amid rising market momentum.

In its 2024 annual report, the regulator confirmed ongoing consultations with the government to evaluate legalising iGaming in France, where only sports betting, poker, and lotteries are currently permitted online. ANJ warns that the addictive nature of online casino games requires a cautious and structured regulatory model, referencing both economic and public health risks.

Highlights from the report:

  • Over 1,335 black market URLs blocked in 2024
  • Record €2.6 billion in total GGR, driven by Euro 2024 and Paris Olympics
  • iGaming consultation is ongoing but facing land-based opposition
  • Promotional budgets are up 11%, raising addiction risk concerns
  • ANJ to host a national conference on responsible gambling in June

With legislation potentially surfacing by 2026, this moment is pivotal for stakeholders across France’s gaming landscape.
