Things to know before betting in France

Meet the team behind BookmakersFrance
Baptiste (left) and Thomas (right)
Like our team, our site has a limited number of pages, because each of them was written to answer a specific question. Our goal is to gather all the information you need to find your bookmaker according to your needs.
Far from being so-called sports betting experts, we are sports and web enthusiasts who want to give you an informed and neutral opinion on the world of sports betting. You will see the word “really” written a lot and you may wonder why. It is the word that best reflects the 4 commitments that we set for our website: Transparent, Comprehensive, Simple and Up-to-date.
We try to give you the most honest opinion on each bookmaker that operates in France legally and approved by the ANJ. You will not see a test or review on an illegal bookmaker on BookmakersFrance. We test all the sites and read all the small lines of the T&Cs to give you all the information in a clear and exhaustive manner.
