Key Takeaways
- ARJEL uses figures from 2010 and 2013 surveys to calculate that the proportion of online problem gamblers has reduced from 8.3% to 6.6%.
- Social gaming gives ARJEL concern; it has lent its support to a legal amendment currently under discussion in the French Assembly.
- The 2012 annual report recorded the exact numbers of sites identified by ARJEL and its success in dealing with them, but still requested additional enforcement powers.
French regulator ARJEL has used research from l’Observatoire des Jeux et l’Observatoire Français des Drogues et des Toxicomanies (ODFT) to calculate a 20% reduction in problem gambling since the introduction of regulation.
