As of today, online gambling is officially legal in France. So if you want to play virtual poker, bet on horses and especially on World Cup football matches, you can choose between 11 operators who were granted licenses to operate in France. This marks the end of the state monopoly on gambling, dating back to 1539. But some critics fear it will create conflicts of interest and encourage gambling addictions.
