Frequently asked questions
Is online sports betting legal in France?
Yes, provided you bet exclusively with operators licensed by the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ). The official list of authorised operators is published on anj.fr.
What age do I need to be to bet?
You must be at least 18 years old. Licensed operators are legally required to verify the identity and age of customers before opening an account.
How can I check that an operator is properly licensed by the ANJ?
Check the official list of licensed operators published by the ANJ, freely available online. Betclic and Bet365, featured on this comparison resource, appear on that list.
Is CastSportsBet paid by the operators it features?

Are winnings from sports betting taxable in France?
The applicable tax treatment depends on your personal situation. We recommend consulting a professional or the tax authorities for any question about taxation of winnings.
What should I do if I lose control over my betting habits?
Free and confidential resources exist: Joueurs Info Service (09 74 75 13 13) and the self-exclusion scheme managed by the ANJ, which allows you to bar yourself from licensed operators.
How are operator ratings calculated?
