Online casino in France: the rules explained simply

What the ANJ licenses
Sports betting, horse racing and online poker. Operators such as Winamax and Unibet hold these licences.
What about online slots and roulette?
Online casino games aren't licensed in France. Sites like BetPortal and Velobet operate under offshore licences (Anjouan, Curaçao), which offer less protection than a French licence. Check the rules that apply to you before playing.
