French Poker from Playtech

Eager French online casino poker players now have a whole new poker network launched exclusively for the French market and in conjunction with several other major names in the European and French gaming markets. The new iPoker network has been licensed by the French licensing authorities and follows all of the regulations and restrictions that French officials have but on the newly liberalized market. This Playtech online casino poker network will be one of the first to actually launch in the market because Playtech, in partnership with four other companies, Casino du Golfe, Chili Poker, JOA, and Tranchant, secured one of the first poker licenses issued by the French officials.

As the poker network goes live the addition of ever more online casino poker sites will make the iPoker Network an actual source of huge poker play for French players. Right now, Chili Poker is the only site operating on the iPoker network (and one of the few foreign French sites able to offer poker to French players. Chili Poker is a natural partner for the Playtech iPoker launch, as was the partnership with the land based casinos who are eager to move into the online side of the market where there is a lot of potential revenue that has gone untapped by the French market for years now – both French land gambling groups listed plan to seek out licenses from the government to operate poker sites on the iPoker Playtech network.

All of the companies in question have a long history of excellence and service within the land and online casino gambling markets – a strong determining factor when the French authorities are examining for potential licensing in the market. French poker players, while wanting still an even more liberalized and open poker market are pleased that Playtech was granted entry and that Chili Poker has already launched.
