• France Set To Allow Online Casino Gambling

Online Casino gambling has long been popular in Europe. In some respects the online casino legislation may change sooner in Europe and the UK than in the US. There have been recent debates about it in parliament. French online casinos are no exception to this rule. The French online casino business has been in full swing for several years. It is estimated that the French gamble twice as often and for three times as long as British online casino players. Land based casino gambling in France is highly restricted and if you want to play casino games in France your only choice is state-managed operations. Government run betting business enterprises are limited to Pari Mutuel Urbain lotto and the National Lottery. The majority of areas in France are forbidden from operating land based casinos and casino machines, apart from a few small areas of the country. But an inconsistency in EU policy has allowed for French players to play at the online casino. The large increase in high speed internet connection within France and Europe in general has a lot to do with the rise in popularity of the online casino. It is actually felt that the online casino is in fact the catalyst for the demand for high speed internet. To play most online casino games and use the software properly, high speed internet is required. The relationship between high speed internet and the online casino is still a grey area. One country that seems to contradict the correlation is Spain. It has one of the lowest rates of online gambling in the EU despite having a large high speed internet market.
