This digital bill could bring the country more gambling revenue, after revenues have been on the downfall in recent years.<\/p>\n
Licensed sites located in other European countries and jurisdictions, can now be used by French poker players after the bill’s passage.<\/p>\n
Poker players in France were previously only able to play against those visiting their country or fellow countrymen.<\/p>\n
In section 3, fighting gambling addiction is another focus of the bill. This serious disease will be combated by the country’s new measures. On of the main reasons some countries refuse to legalize online poker is that online gambling potentially causes a gambling addiction.<\/p>\n
Within 15 days the bill will be put into action by the President of France, Francois Hollande. From that moment on, France will begin sharing revenues with other European nations and French poker players will get to compete against other European players.<\/p>\n
