A New Era for France

The French government is seemingly turning tide and planning to open up the French online casinos gambling market in the coming year. The French politicians have noted that the changes in governmental policy regarding internet gambling are because of technology changes rather than as a reaction to the European Commission’s investigation into Frances gambling and betting monopoly. And although the changes are not written in stone right now and are subject to changes, the French news organizations have commented that the government plans to license and regulate the nation’s online casinos gambling industry in stark contrast to the current internet gambling and betting monopoly that has drawn international criticism.

The current European Commissioner, Charlie McCreevy, has publicly and essentially waged war on the ten European member states that are violating EU policy in favor of and online casinos gambling monopoly that effectively shuns all other EU states. McCreevy and individuals at the Commission have been in talks with the French government for many months now, and although French officials claim to the contrary, it certainly seems as though France is at least in part adjusting the nation’s online casinos gambling policy because of pressure from the Commission.

Whatever the reasoning though, online casino gambling companies operating in other EU member states are certainly breathing a sigh of relief that at least one more nation will operate internet gambling in compliance with EU policy. Although the new legislation is still awaiting final approval by President Sarkozy, the anticipated change in policy is already being heralded as a “new era” for online casinos gambling and betting and the news organizations anticipate that the licensing and regulation of the industry could take effect as early as the end of this year.
