Abstract
- The article reports that a bill that legalizes online poker has been passed in France. French budget minister Eric Woerth pushed for the bill that will close off the French market to outside operators and limit the total number of legal online gambling companies to 50. Poker journalist Benjamin Gallen expressed his disapproval of the law that he characterized as a reactionary step backward. A provision in the bill discriminates against operators from other European Union countries, according to the author.
