Everything you need to know about legal sports betting in France

🏛 ANJ Sports Betting Regulation

In France, online sports betting is strictly regulated by the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ). Only operators holding a valid ANJ licence are authorised to offer betting services to French residents.

The ANJ controls odds fairness, anti-money laundering compliance, and imposes strict responsible gambling tools on all licensed bookmakers. Betting on an unlicensed site is illegal in France.
