Sports betting laws in France
Sports betting in France is legal and you can wager online in this country, with esports falling into this category.
Online betting and some forms of gambling are regulated by the L’Autorite nationale des Jeux (ANJ), although technically online casino games are not allowed.
Despite these restrictive French gambling laws surrounding online casinos, there is no enforcement action taken to stop people from playing at online casinos.
To the letter of the law the forms of gambling that are legal online in France are:
- Horse racing betting
- Online sports betting
- Online poker
Despite online poker falling under the casino games category, it is deemed legal because it falls under a game of skill carveout.
So in summary, French gambling laws surrounding online betting technically ban the practice unless the website is licensed in the country, however this is not enforced.
The French Government instead relies on people to want to wager with legal and licensed websites so they have the protections of betting with sites that fall under their framework.
