Playtech expanding in France
Jul 23, 2010
The Playtech group has grown even more in France with their expansion of their poker network in this very lucrative gambling market. The network as its known will be the iPoker network and it is already popular in the French market. The French Market is governed by ARJEL who already gave out 11 licensed to different poker operators, and it is still looking at expanding to various operators offering online poker to their players. With ARJEL in control, Playtech will add a number of extra licenses to their operations in the coming months.
By their expansion and by adding a number of licenses to their operation, Playtech is definitely making a huge name for himself, and with its popularity growing their online casinos and poker rooms will become more and more profitable. The major factor to keep in mind is that France is becoming a very liquid gambling market and with platforms like Playtech it will be very profitable for either Playtech and ARJEL. The French market has shown massive growth since the inception of regulation and French players have welcomed it with open arms.
With the regulation of online gambling in France, some gambling deposits have evolved with the change and started offering in conjunction with online casinos like Roxy Palace special deposit promotions and bonuses for their players. Payment operators like Entropay and Neteller are on top of their game with deposit methods, and Roxy Palace is giving players 15% extra on top of their initial 100% bonus on their first deposit. Players should bear in mind that by using reputable online deposit methods, they will enjoy their playing time more.
We are waiting with baited breath for Playtech to launch their major Poker brand Titan Poker in the French market, as it will surely become a firm favourite amongst French players. However there is still some administration issues with regards on getting Titan Poker licensed in the France. When that is done Playtech will definitely have huge market share in this profitable market. While Playtech is waiting for their license, 888 and Microgaming recently received their license to operate in the French market.
