The French online gambling market is in progress to grand opening, however because the time this process has to take some of the foreign operators won’t wait for the new regulations. It may last even until early 2010 before all of the upcoming regulations will become fully functional, as the French government says. However in these days Partouche Group and other similar companies have to face heavy fines for their continued involvement in the French land and online casino gambling and betting market. If the slow progress of regulation process will be taken into consider, it becomes obvious that Partouche will be forced to offer its online gambling services in France through Gibraltar gambling license.
Even the ongoing French legislative and regulatory restrictions didn’t stop French based Partouche from continuous offering its services. Also other online casinos and online gambling sites are already giving its customers opportunity to play as they heard the news about the Partouche. However, because it’s also operates abroad, the French government has the way and reason to punish the Partouche for operating as a French company while there is government monopoly.
These days are really hard and tough for both online gambling sites and for the government. The whole process of introducing new law which will liberalize the internet gambling market is really complicated and difficult and what comes with it, takes some time. And the time is the factor which causes frustrating within the online gambling industry. However French online poker players will have great opportunities to enjoy their favourite games just in couple of months.
