Strong positioning in French market for Everest and Betclic

Online poker operators Everest Poker and BetClic Poker have commenced operations in the French market, having won the approval of French regulator ARJEL. Both operations are jointly owned by Mangas Gaming and GigaMedia.
“We are especially excited about the opening of the large French market to online poker,” GigaMedia CEO Arthur Wang said Friday. “Everest and BetClic are strongest in France and we see an enormous market opportunity for which we are best positioned with our award winning poker products.”
In related news, it appears that online gambling software provider Playtech plc may have followed the current trend of large companies closing their doors to French punters in the hope of attaining licensing from the French regulator. Initial reports this week indicate that as of midnight June 29th, every internet gambling site running on Playtech software has stopped accepting players from France.
