Good news for France's regulated online gambling market as third quarter numbers are in. On Friday, the country's online gambling regulatory body ARJEL released Q3 numbers that paint a picture of online gaming on the rise as shared European liquidity draws closer.
During the three months July, August and September, overall poker revenue rose 11% to €58m, including gains in both cash games and tournaments. The last time both online cash games and tournaments showed year-over-year gains in the same quarter was back in 2011, making Q3 of 2017 one to celebrate.
After two quarters of cash game declines to start the year off, online cash games have rebounded with their biggest gains in six years — an 8% increase in amount of money wagered, bringing the total to €885m.
