The government of France has withdrawn the ‘proposed amendments’ to the 2025 Budget to legislate and launch an online casino market.
The decision was announced on Sunday by Budget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin, who stated that further consultations were needed to avoid the negative impacts and job losses warned by regional stakeholders.
“There was talk that the government would submit an amendment. This is no longer the case. I believe we need to work among ourselves first,” the Minister stated on Radio J this weekend.
“I am very vigilant about this issue. We must not make mistakes. We must ensure that it doesn’t harm certain stakeholders, especially land-based casinos.”
