Online Gambling Hasn't Happened Yet

The European Commission is still actively seeking the end to all EU member-state online casinos gambling monopolies in the ten or so countries that operate under protective and restricted legislation. The French government has been in negotiations with the Commission for some time now regarding the country’s state gambling monopoly, and just recently the French media reported that the government is seriously considering opening the industry through a stringent online casinos licensing and regulation process. And though most industry analysts believe that the government will most assuredly pass the new and anticipated legislation, some speculate that the government is continuing to stall the process as long as possible.

The French Prime Minister Francois Fillon noted that the country is still in the review and evaluation phase of the process. Basically, the French government continues to analyze the effect and implications of opening the state online casinos gambling industry which is causing delays in the government actually passing the new legislation. The French government commissioned a study late last year that looked into the implications of online casinos gambling in the country and according to some sources, the report was not actually in favor of opening the French online gambling market.

But the pressure from the Commission to comply with EU regulations regarding restricting trade and services between EU member-states could be a large motivating factor behind the new President’s push to open the online casinos gambling industry in the coming months. The state-run monopoly, Francaise de Jeux, is actually quite successful and there is no doubting that the French government makes a pretty penny from the current legislation that allows for the French government to exclusively benefit from the nation’s internet gambling industry.
