Jérôme Gallot is Appointed Mediator of ANJ
Jérôme Gallot is appointed gaming mediator from December 2, 2024, by a decision of Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, President of the National Gaming Authority. This appointment comes following his registration on the list of consumer mediators by the Consumer Mediation Evaluation and Control Commission.
Born in October 1959, Jérôme Gallot has been a member of the Court of Auditors since 1985. He has spent almost his entire career outside this jurisdiction. First from 1989 within the Ministry of Economy and Finance, where he was Director General of the Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) from 1997 to 2003. Then in large public institutions among the management bodies of the Caisse des Dépôts and at the head of some of its subsidiaries such as CDC Entreprise or the Strategic Investment Fund. In 2011, he joined the executive committee of Veolia Environnement, managing Veolia-Transdev. He then founded his own consulting firm, specializing in the fields of competition law and consumer law.
Between 2004 and 2021, he was a director of numerous listed and unlisted companies. Since 2024, he has been a director of a foundation.
Games mediation
The aim of gambling mediation is to promote the amicable settlement of disputes that may arise between players and gaming or betting operators approved by the ANJ or holders of exclusive rights (Française des jeux and PMU).
Before contacting the mediator from the mediateurdesjeux website, people must first contact the operator in writing. Depending on the response obtained or in the absence of a response from the operator within 20 days, players can then contact the mediator. The parties may withdraw from the mediation process at any time. The mediator’s proposal has no binding effect, each party being free to accept or refuse the solution chosen by the mediator. Finally, participation in mediation does not exclude the possibility of an appeal before a court.
The main figures of mediation
1523 applications received in 2023.
Sports betting represents the vast majority of mediation requests (91%)
752 applications declared inadmissible. The absence of a prior written complaint to the operators constitutes the main reason for inadmissibility (89%)
About a third of requests receive partial or full satisfaction.

Delasport Now GLI-Certified for Sports Betting in Brazil
Delasport has just become one of the first suppliers to obtain a GLI certification for its sportsbook in Brazil, two weeks before the historical regulation comes into effect.
Continuing its global growth, Delasport is bringing several operators on board in Brazil. In order to complete the process, operators that are applying for a new Brazilian license have 30 days to provide all relevant platform certificates from the moment that they are notified by the regulator that their initial submission has been accepted. This is also the moment that they can pay the license fee. Still, failure to provide platform certificates will result in the application being placed on hold.
Delasport turned to Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for the certification of its sportsbook against Brazilian technical standards. The historical partnership with GLI was further strengthened by the news, a few months back, that GLI had become the first laboratory to achieve the local accreditation to certify for betting systems, live game studios, and online games by the Secretaria De Prêmios e Apostas (SPA) in Brazil.
Delasport has successfully met all technical requirements for providing its sports betting solution to the largest country in South America. The certificate is evidence of the team’s experience, expertise, and determination to lead the way in key jurisdictions.
Obtaining a GLI certification for Brazil is a step towards cementing the trust players and operators have for Delasport’s products. This serves to show that the award-winning supplier is capable of meeting even the strictest industry standards for integrity and fairness.
“When we learnt that providing platform certificates to the regulator was on our partner operators’ critical path for obtaining the license, we immediately prioritized submitting the system to GLI for testing”, Delasport’s Chief Compliance Officer Filippo Ferri said. “Needless to say, GLI did a tremendous job of working with us to conduct the tests in record time, to match the submission deadline of some of our clients. I am also very proud of how our internal departments worked together to obtain this certificate, and of how they continue to push forward with the delivery of a datavault system that complies with SIGAP requirements.”
Operators that plan on entering the newly regulated Brazilian market will now have numerous advantages if they partner with Delasport. They will be able to provide their players with personalization features like My Sportsbook, My Event Builder, and My Combo that skyrocket revenues and retention.
Furthermore, Delasport’s KYC and AML provider is a market leader that guarantees the highest level of compliance for all operators that choose to go on this route.
Also, Delasport has already partnered with numerous local payment system providers and offers a real-time AI-powered Responsible Gambling system which can easily adapt to local regulations.
Last, but not least, operators will feel Delasport’s support from the get-go all the way to establishing themselves as a market leader. Delasport is knowledgeable of cultural and regional differences and can address all localization needs from the early stages of engagement.

Brazil’s rapid growth and evolving legal framework for gaming regulation have provided opportunities and challenges.
