How to Choose your Bookmaker
Check the ANJ Licence
Any legal bookmaker in France must hold a licence from the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ). Check the official list.
Compare Odds
The bookmaker's margin determines your long-term returns. Compare odds across several sites before betting.
Assess the Sports Offer
Check that the bookmaker covers your favourite sports and leagues, and offers in-play betting.
Responsible Gambling
Check for responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, self-exclusion, and links to support organisations.
Bet Responsibly
Betting should remain entertainment. If you think you have a problem, contact Joueurs Info Service on 09 74 75 13 13 (free service, 7 days/week, 8am–2am).
