Interesting European Competition

The European online casino gambling industry has been the source of a lot of contention over the past several years – state monopolies have caused other countries to cry foul and demand the opening of the market. Basically, state monopolies and protectionist legislation expressly go against the policies, tenants, and founding principles of the European Union. France is one of the nearly dozen countries that has been in the hot-seat of scrutiny over the past couple of years. With the announcement that the French government plans to liberalize gambling laws and allow foreign online casinos to compete in the market, it has softened the blow dealt by the launch of the Le Croupier internet gambling site.

Le Croupier is a strong French online casino gambling brand that finally launched its much touted 3D internet gaming site. Interestingly enough, although French gamblers would love the opportunity to play on the site, Le Croupier is targeted, at least initially, at the UK gambling market. French legislation has not been finalized yet and even when the new gambling legislation passes, there will be lag time before the country is able to license and effectively regulate new online casinos entering the market. For that reason Le Croupier, for all of its publicity about being a strong French gambling brand, is launching in the UK rather than France.

The online casino site has now launched and the company has been sure to let gamblers know that there is more in the works for this popular gaming brand. Although just casino games are available now, Le Croupier plans to launch bingo, poker, and mobile gambling offerings throughout the rest of the year.
