ANJ, France’s gambling regulator, has issued a practical guide aimed at licensed online gambling operators to better identify, document, and respond to various types of player fraud.
Published on Monday, after a period of consultation with operators and the gaming ombudsman, the guide clarified expectations around compliance with existing anti-fraud and anti-money laundering regulations without introducing new legal obligations.
While the guide does not impose novel legal duties, it effectively tightens the operational framework that operators must observe to manage player fraud in France.
