The French National Commission for Data Protection Authority (CNIL) and online gaming regulatory authority ARJEL will be teaming up to oversee compliance and data protection issues.
The two independent administrative authorities will begin on-site inspections of the thirty-five French-licenced online gaming operators to ensure compliance with regulatory objectives including the fight against addiction, protection of vulnerable populations, the fight against criminal activities and ensuring fairness.
An assessment will be drawn up and any operators found breaching provisions of the law may see the CNIL using its powers of sanction.
