PARIS, France - France wants to legalize online casinos next year, bringing its rules in line with most EU countries, according to an amendmendment filed by the government.Arguing that France and Cyprus are the only European Union member states where online casinos are still illegal, Prime Minister Michel Barnier's administration at the weekend submitted an amendment to its 2025 budget plan which is under debate in parliament starting later Monday.
But there is a growing illegal online casino offering in France, which the government believes generates up to 1.5 billion euros every year, or roughly 10 percent of all the sector's income.By legalising, and regulating, online casinos the government believes it can "limit the impact of online games on the health of consumers", it said.It would also be able to tax them to the tune of 55.6 percent of gross revenues.
