Gambling self-exclusion: The French Gambling Authority (ANJ) offers an online service to simplify the registration process and reduce delays
Since 31 December 2020, the management of the self-exclusion file, previously held by the Ministry of the Interior, has been entrusted to the French Gambling Authority (ANJ). The ANJ is now offering a renew, easily accessible service that simplifies the process of registering for the file and reduces the time required to validate the process. Players no longer have to go to a police station and their registration can now be done entirely online.
Gambling self-exclusion
Gambling self-exclusion is a strictly personal and confidential procedure, offered to gamblers who wish to protect themselves against the risks associated with their excessive gambling (financial difficulties, psychological disorders related to addiction, isolation, etc.). Tutors or curators who are the legal representatives of a person encountering problems with gambling can also ask for registration in the file. Today, more than 38,500 people are registered in the file, which was previously managed by the Ministry of the Interior.
As a result of this registration, access to the file is denied:
– To casinos or gaming clubs;
– Sports-betting, horse racing betting and online poker venues and websites licensed by the ANJ;
– To the games of La Française des Jeux or from PMU realised online or in physical points of sale with a player account;
This ban is valid for a minimum of three years. After this period, the person concerned may request the lifting of the ban at any time.
Until now, persons wishing to register on this file had to go to a police station for an interview with a local correspondent of the Central Race and Gambling Service (SCCJ) in order to finalise their registration. The average delay was about a month and a half, and the call by the police could be dissuasive.
In order to ease the procedure and make it more attractive to gamblers, the order of 2 October, 2019 reforming the regulation of gambling entrusted the ANJ with the management of this file as part of its mission to combat addiction and prevent excessive gambling. As soon as it was set up in June 2020, the Authority has prepared for this transfer by designing a teleservice easily accessible to gamblers.
The new online service
The ANJ proposes a new registration process in 3 steps:
1. The player makes his request for a ban on the online service www.interdictiondejeux.anj.fr or by sending a letter;
2. The ANJ quickly contacts the player by telephone to verify his or her identity;
3. Once the identity has been verified, the ANJ confirms the registration by sending a letter.
This new course is thus essentially dematerialized, even if registration in the file formulated by a letter remains possible.
With this new device, the ANJ wishes to reduce the effective registration time to a maximum of two weeks and make the process simpler and less guilt-ridden for the player.
After three years, if the gambler feels he or she no longer needs this measure, he or she can ask for a lift of the ban on the online service. Once the request has been verified by the ANJ, the player will receive confirmation that the ban has been lifted.
Mario Blaise, Psychiatrist, addictologist and member of the ANJ, said: “This new service should make it easier for players to have recourse to gambling self-exclusion. Problematic gamblers think about it, they hear about it, but if the process is too complicated, they give up. We can hope that the dematerialisation and management by the ANJ will enable those who wish to do so to use it earlier and more quickly. And we know that reducing access to the gambling offer is an important step for players in difficulty.”

Amusnet
Amusnet Gaming Explains the Shift From Account Management to Revenue System Ownership
Amusnet Gaming joined industry leaders, compliance experts, technology professionals, and gaming stakeholders at HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 for a day of discussions focused on digital governance, startup innovation, and Nordic market expansion. We spoke with Jack Lloyd, Partner Account & Commercial Manager – Operations Lead at Amusnet Gaming, about the evolving role of account management in iGaming – and why the industry is increasingly moving toward full partner revenue lifecycle ownership.
The phrase “revenue system ownership” suggests a much broader responsibility than traditional account management. How do you define this shift inside the modern iGaming ecosystem?
From a game provider perspective, “revenue system ownership” reflects the move away from managing accounts as standalone relationships and toward owning the performance of the content ecosystem inside each operator.
It means taking responsibility not just for delivering games, but for how those games perform once deployed – across lobbies, markets, player segments, and promotional layers. The provider role becomes directly tied to revenue outcomes, where success is measured by engagement, retention, and game-level performance, not just distribution.
How Amusnet applies this philosophy
At Amusnet, this means taking a proactive approach to portfolio management. We work closely with operators to analyse game performance, identify market-specific trends, and optimise content visibility through lobby positioning, promotional activity, and tailored launch strategies
What Amusnet is doing differently
Rather than focusing solely on new integrations, we place significant emphasis on post-launch performance. Once content is live, our teams continuously monitor engagement and revenue trends to identify opportunities for further optimisation and growth.
What tools or capabilities support this
Access to detailed performance data across multiple regulated markets gives us a broader view of player behaviour and portfolio performance, helping us identify opportunities that may not be visible when looking at a single market in isolation.
What are the biggest limitations of the classic account management model in today’s highly competitive and data-driven gaming market?
The traditional model is often too disconnected from product and performance reality. In many cases, account management sits between commercial, product, and operations without true ownership of outcomes.
For game providers, this creates friction between insight and execution. You may see performance trends, but lack the operational leverage to immediately impact game positioning, segmentation strategy, or market-specific optimisation.
In a highly competitive environment, this slows down portfolio growth and limits the ability to fully monetise content across operators.
How has the expectation from operators changed when it comes to account management and commercial partnership support over the past few years?
Operators now expect game providers to behave more like performance partners rather than content vendors.
It’s no longer just about supplying a strong game portfolio – it’s about actively contributing to how that portfolio is monetised inside the operator’s ecosystem. In the current market, a top-tier supplier’s commercial lead needs to understand API optimization, algorithmic recommendations, data segmentation, and local compliance constraints. If an account team cannot translate data insights into actionable revenue opportunities for operators, it risks becoming less relevant in today’s market
In practice, providers are expected to influence revenue outcomes, not just supply tools that generate them.
What are some of the biggest challenges companies face today when managing long-term growth across multiple regulated markets?
For game providers, the biggest challenge is scaling a consistent portfolio strategy across fragmented regulatory environments.
Each market affects how content can be certified, distributed, and positioned, which directly impacts performance. What works in one jurisdiction may not translate into another due to compliance constraints or player behaviour differences.
At the same time, without a consolidated performance view across operators and markets, it becomes difficult to optimise the portfolio holistically and understand true game-level ROI.
What internal skills or mindset changes do companies now look for when building high-performing account management or partnership teams?
The shift is toward hybrid commercial and product-performance thinking.
For game providers, it’s no longer enough to manage relationships – teams need to understand how games perform at a granular level and translate that into actionable portfolio decisions.
This requires strong analytical capability, but also a deep understanding of content strategy, player engagement, and how to influence operator-side execution. The mindset shifts from account servicing to active revenue and portfolio optimization ownership.
Looking ahead, how do you see partnership and revenue management roles evolving within the iGaming industry over the next few years?
Within game providers, these roles are evolving into fully integrated portfolio performance ownership functions.
The separation between account management, product, and commercial strategy will continue to fade. Instead, teams will be structured around full lifecycle responsibility for game performance across operators.
AI and automation will increasingly handle reporting and operational tasks, allowing commercial teams to focus on strategic portfolio decisions, market expansion, and optimisation of content performance at scale.
Ultimately, success will be defined by how effectively game providers can turn content into sustained revenue performance across diverse regulated markets.
The industry has moved beyond simple content distribution. Operators are looking for partners who can help them grow, not just suppliers who provide games. Our focus is on combining strong content with data-driven decision making and local market expertise to create lasting value for our partner.
