Last week, French Senators approved tax hikes to be implemented across all gambling disciplines as part of the 2025 budget.

And on today’s episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, SBC’s Content Director, Ted Menmuir, is joined by Jake Pollard to delve deeper into the development.

The duo discuss the key components of the tax plan and the reaction of the industry to the news. They also consider which sectors are most vulnerable to the tax hikes and how it will influence the landscape of French online gambling.

Later on in the episode, they also examine the ongoing developments regarding the French government’s consultation on the launch of an icasino market, including the initial meetings between the government and stakeholders as well as FDJ’s response to the talks.
