France’s Gambling Authority – ANJ – has just issued the gambling statistics for the first half year of 2023. With a total of €5.3bn in turnover, this year’s half-year has scored a 4% in growth compared to the previous year to date.
Statistics Details
The 4% increase reflects France’s gambling activity from January to June. Most of the turnover comes from the two popular casino operators – Française Des Jeux and Pari Mutuel Urbain – representing a 78% share of the billions generated this half-year.
Though online active casino players per month have generally decreased during this period, online gaming still grew by 10% – meaning that though there are fewer players, they are spending more on wagers.
More diversification of gambling trends
ANJ also noted that this period highlights a diversification in gambling trends – meaning that Frenc players are engaging in different kinds of betting – including table games, slots, lottery and sports betting – including foreign popular and foreign operating casino brands.
