Leading online betting and gaming provider Bwin Interactive Entertainment AG has announced that its online sportsbetting and poker offerings experienced a successful launch into the newly regulated French market last month.
The Vienna-based firm stated that it premiered its services in France on June 8, in time for the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and was the ‘only international online gaming provider to enter the French market with a sportsbetting and poker licence’.
“The first month of our market launch in France was promising despite taxation rates that are still currently high,” said Norbert Teufelberger, Co-Chief Executive Officer for Bwin.
“Even now, it is becoming apparent that past investment in our brand, technology and organisation is beginning to pay off. Only a small group of providers is and will be in a position to meet the exacting demands of this regulated market.
“Due to the successful regulation of the market in Italy and France for customers, authorities and providers alike, we anticipate that other countries will soon follow this.”
