France Gets More Time
With this August deadline there would also be a fine imposed on providers that did not adhere to this demand. At this point French gamblers online have only two authorized casinos by the French government that are legal for them to gamble on; one named PMU and the other is Francaise des Jeux.
One other item the French failed to accomplish by this August deadline was to open their horseracing to European betting and European gambling operators. By not opening their countries horseracing given the extra time they have been given, the European Commission will expect France to answer why they have not done this in the European Court of Justice, as they will be in violation of Article 49 of the European Treaty.
