Online Casinos Open for Business

The FIFA World Cup action is heating up the virtual tables at the online casino sports betting venues right now and the ultimate wish from these companies has come true – France has opened up its doors and has now licensed internet betting from the French market. This is a very marked change to previous internet gambling regulations in France that have excluded foreign gambling companies from accessing the market. Although France’s chosen gambling regulations are still controversial all over Europe several of the major betting companies have long vied for French licensing and this is a happy and historical event. Also, with the official licensing of these online casinos and betting sites France has completely and officially made the change into a liberalized gambling market.

The first online casinos and betting sites that will find licensing are the internet betting companies. Internet betting is not as difficult to license and regulate as the chance gaming and poker sites and France facing betting sites will open immediately. France announced that 11 different online casino betting operators were awarded some of the 17 gambling licenses that France handed out. These gambling licenses are now just in time for the World Cup games that have already started. World Cup betting is anticipated to bring in a lot of revenue and game play for the betting operators so those 11 companies now taking French bets now have an even stronger foundation as the World Cup begins.

Bwin is just one of the online casino betting companies to receive this first round of French licensing and the company could not be happier to be a part of the French market right now. Although France cut it all very close by licensing these companies just days before the start of the World Cup the companies are still able to get up and running in time to take French bets.
