Things to know before betting in France

6 important questions and answers

1. Are sport betting sites in France legal ?

Yes, online sports betting is legal in France. Bookmakers must be licensed by the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ), the regulatory authority overseeing online gambling. We maintain an updated list of all legal bookmakers in France.

2. Which are the best sports betting sites in France?

It is a hard question to answer because every player has different needs, but the good news is that we have listed :

3. Can I claim offers from the top sports betting sites in France?

Yes, many French bookmakers have welcome offers, free bets, and other promotions. However, they are regulated by strict advertising guidelines to ensure responsible gambling.

4. Regulated France betting sites (ANJ) vs unregulated

Regulated bookmakers in France are licensed and supervised by the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ), ensuring compliance with strict rules on security, fairness, and responsible gambling. Unregulated bookmakers operate without ANJ approval, meaning they don’t follow French laws and may pose risks regarding security and fairness.

For example, a famous bookmaker like Bet365 is not authorized in France.

5. The risks of using an unregulated betting site in France

Unregulated sites sometimes offer more attractive odds or bonuses because they don’t follow French regulations. However, these offers come with increased risks. The risks include lack of consumer protection, no guarantees of payment, poor security for personal and financial data, and limited responsible gambling tools. Additionally, you won’t have legal support in case of disputes.

That being said, if you are just visiting France and you reside in another country, then you can look at our lists of bookmakers per country and find yours!

6. Is online betting in France safe?

Yes, as long as you bet with licensed bookmakers regulated by the ANJ, the National Gambling Authority in France. These sites comply with strict security standards to protect your personal and financial information.

Sports betting in France if you are just visiting

Legal bookmakers in France only accept players who reside in France - tourists visiting the country or just passing by are not permitted to join. But you still have options ⬇️

If you live in another country, but you are still looking for a place to bet when visiting France, we encourage you to look for your country of residence and use a VPN to access through an internet connection from that country. Of course, it goes without saying that you should be fully aware and abide to the gambling laws in your country of residence too. (If you live in France, here is the link to see the full list of bookmakers available for you in France.)
