As a result of French gaming companies teaming up and a ban from the French courts, fourteen foreign online casinos including Bwin and Unibet are forced out of the French market.
Despite the government’s agreement to alter the regulations, France is still violating EU policies by not allowing foreign online casino sites to legally operate in the market, as the alterations to regulations have neither been passed nor taken effect. So, if the French courts attempt to ban these companies, they will be forced to stay out of the French market for two years.
