Cake's Controversial Decision

The Cake Poker Network announced last week that the company was backing out of the French online casino poker gambling network until the French regulations fully take effect and until Cake can obtain full legal and licensed rights to operate in the French market. Up until this point Cake was one of the numerous foreign online casinos and gaming sites that accepted French players despite France’s ban on foreign sites entering the market. Now though, with the pending French regulation of the market, Cake does not want to miss out on the opportunity for legal and licensed gaming in France.

There has been a big push in the French market lately to have the French online casino licensing authorities punish gaming sites that chose to operate in the market before legalization was complete. This is likely one of the main reasons that Cake has pulled out of the market so close to when the new French online casino gambling regulations are set to pass. French gamblers though are disappointed. At this point, there are really few choices other than the French monopoly for any type of gambling, and there is a fear that the European Union authorities will not approve the French regulations, and then it could be months again until legalized internet gambling takes place within France.

Cake has made the site’s cashier continually available to French online casino poker players, they are simply no longer able to play poker through the site any longer. Cake anticipates that with the company’s strong reputation in the market that it will not be long after regulation approval that Cake receives French licensing.
