Regulate Online Gambling In France | IXGAMES
The steps that France has carefully considered appear to do an excellent job of protecting their citizenry, far better than a ban leaving online gambling to uncontrolled entities. Maybe the United States could take a lesson. France will create a regulatory agency, responsible for monitoring and licensing applicants for legal online gambling. Servers will need to be accessible to this agency, so that software and records can be audited and monitored for fraud or cheating. (Only online casinos with a history of seven or more years will be allowed to apply). Full disclosure and transparency will be required of all online gambling sites, including investors and shareholders as well as employees passing background checks. Player registration would involve submission of a legal form of identification, including a French bank account, and issuing of a distinct PIN for activation and play. A system to detect and block gamblers identified as problem gamblers must be in place.
– The French model is worth preserving and exporting –
