The French National Assembly has approved legislative amendments enabling the government to implement loss limits for online betting. The new regulations specifically target players between the ages of 18 and 25.
Exact monetary thresholds remain undefined. The ANJ will establish the final parameters following a consultation period with market operators. Industry representatives are currently awaiting subordinate legal acts that will outline the framework.
According to ANJ statistics, approximately 66 percent of players under 25 already participate in sports betting.
European Regulatory Context
If fully ratified, France will join a growing list of European nations enforcing youth betting restrictions. The Netherlands and Norway already operate similar protective mechanisms. The United Kingdom implemented a £2 stake limit on online slots for users aged 18 to 24 starting in 2025. These measures align with broader European efforts to tighten online gambling oversight and safeguard younger demographics.
