Since its inception on June 23, 2020, the ANJ has focused on implementing regulations that combine support and oversight with the aim of better protecting players. The first regulatory cycle laid the foundations for the toolbox provided for by the Pacte law and the 2019 ordinance, and its adoption by the regulator and operators. 

Substantial progress has been made by operators to meet their obligations regarding the prevention of excessive gambling and the fight against money laundering; these efforts are beginning to be measured in the action plans examined by the ANJ, notably by more excessive gamblers identified. Operators now appear to have better integrated the regulatory framework and, in particular, the objective of reducing excessive gamblers in their customer base. Two decisions of the Council of State have also confirmed the power to supervise the gaming offer and the promotional strategy of monopolies mobilized by the ANJ to protect players and combat excessive gambling .

On the repressive side, the policy of controls and sanctions was affirmed in 2024 with 9 sanctions imposed, some with significant amounts of up to €150,000. Regarding excessive gambling, the ANJ sanctions commission issued a public sanction of €800,000 in January 2025. This decision, unprecedented in the amount of the sanction and its public nature, initiates a new cycle and constitutes an important signal to the entire market.

The fight against illegal supply was finally significantly strengthened in 2024, with 1,335 URLs blocked, 231 administrative actions, and the activation of new levers such as the initiation of financial flow blocking. This action is particularly important since illegal supply is widely used by high-risk players.

However, the risk of excessive gambling is not yet fully under control. The voluntary ban file, for example, is seeing its registrations grow by 20% per year and currently numbers 85,000 people, compared to 40,000 in 2021.

Therefore, in 2024, for its second regulatory cycle covering the years 2024-2026, the ANJ wished to set as the central pivot of its strategic plan the effective reduction of excessive gambling over three years. This objective must necessarily result in a reorientation of the sector’s economic model towards less intensive gambling and less focused on high-risk players. 

To make progress on this issue, which concerns all stakeholders, the ANJ is organizing a symposium on gambling addiction on June 27 at the Senate.  The aim is to take stock of the obligation to identify and support excessive gamblers, which has been imposed on economic actors since 2019 and which mobilizes public policies, and to debate the improvements to be made. A comparative approach and cross-examinations will allow for a perspective on best practices and trajectories to be followed.

Better coordination between the various stakeholders and, where appropriate, an adaptation of the regulatory framework could be proposed. 

For Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin: “Driven by a very dynamic market that has been fostered by digitalization, gambling, which is not a product like any other, has nevertheless become a common consumer product. The objective of reducing excessive gambling set by the ANJ must now translate into an obligation of results that involves reducing the number of excessive gamblers and their contribution to the revenues of gambling operators. More broadly, the fight against gambling addiction requires going beyond sectoral considerations and considering the more global and societal dimension of the phenomenon, which concerns operators, public authorities, the regulator, associations, educators, parents, etc.”

Yggdrasil has enhanced its footprint in the Italian regulated market through a partnership with Codere Italia, representing a major advancement for both organizations.

Customers of Codere Italia can now enjoy an extensive selection of Yggdrasil’s top-performing games, enhancing their casino portfolio with superior content that has consistently appealed to players worldwide and in Italy. Among the games currently offered are Easter Island, Golden Fish Tank, and Arthur’s Fortune.

In addition to its famous in-house content, Yggdrasil will also launch games developed through its YGG Masters program.

The partnership arises as Codere aims to grow in its initial European market beyond its home territory of Spain, with Yggdrasil chosen as a crucial content ally to aid its online casino growth in Italy.

Yggdrasil’s partnership with Microgame has enabled market expansion by allowing it to quickly work with its operator partners within the Italian regulated market.

Italy continues to be a key online gaming jurisdiction in Europe, and the chance to partner with a major operator like Codere reinforces Yggdrasil’s bold global expansion plan.

Giovanni Foderá, Client Success Manager for the Italian market at Yggdrasil, said: “Partnering with Codere marks an important step for Yggdrasil in Italy, and thanks to the integration of our games via Microgame, we believe this will be a great match for all.”

Roberto Russo, Online Gaming Operation Director at Codere Italia, said: “Italy represents our first European market outside Spain, so choosing the right content partners for this debut is critical.

“Yggdrasil’s reputation for high-quality, engaging games made them a natural fit, and we are proud to launch our Italian expansion with their portfolio.”

Scaling In-App Traffic in iGaming: A Performance-Driven Approach

Published

on

scaling-in-app-traffic-in-igaming:-a-performance-driven-approach

Traffy, a performance marketing agency specializing in in-app traffic, has seen a clear shift in how iGaming campaigns scale today.

The era of “launch and forget” in iGaming is over. The market has become more competitive, and users are more demanding than ever. Scaling campaigns is no longer just about volume — success now depends on the depth of analytics, the speed of response to user behavior, and traffic quality.

Market Transformation

In the past, scaling followed a simple logic: more traffic meant more conversions. Today, that approach no longer works. Users have become more selective, and both CPA and ROI are directly tied to post-deposit behavior.

If advertisers fail to track key performance indicators within the first 72 hours — including user activity, repeat deposits, and conversion to FTD — budgets are spent without control, and scaling turns into guesswork.

New Requirements for Scaling

Scaling campaigns today requires a much more structured approach:

  • Funnel analysis within the first 72 hours to quickly identify effective setups
  • Traffic segmentation and strict quality control
  • Continuous monitoring of user activity, repeat deposits, and FTD conversion rates

If there is no positive performance trend within the first three days, the setup is stopped immediately. This allows teams to minimize losses and reallocate budgets toward high-performing campaigns.

Common Pitfalls of Legacy Approaches

Many operators and affiliates still rely on outdated strategies that limit their ability to scale effectively:

  • Focusing solely on CPA without considering unit economics and profitability
  • Scaling broadly without proper traffic segmentation
  • Lack of predictive analytics in the early stages of campaigns
  • Underestimating traffic quality and fraud risks

These issues lead to unstable performance, rising CPI, and a loss of control over ROI.

The Traffy Approach

At Traffy, we build scalable infrastructure designed to manage in-app traffic with a performance-first mindset.

  • Traffic quality control: black and white lists, ongoing audits, and integrated fraud analytics
  • AI-driven optimization: algorithms that predict campaign performance and dynamically reallocate budgets toward the most efficient setups
  • Performance focus: real-time analysis of the first 72 hours, deep segmentation, and continuous monitoring of key metrics and ROI

This approach allows us to scale only the traffic that is proven to be profitable, reducing risks and improving predictability at scale.

Conclusion

A performance-driven approach has become essential for scaling In-App campaigns in iGaming. The key to success lies in deep analytics, traffic segmentation, predictive modeling, and strict control within the first 72 hours.

The market has changed — and those who succeed are not the ones who scale volume, but those who scale quality traffic.

At Traffy, this approach is at the core of how we build and scale campaigns, ensuring sustainable growth and measurable performance for our partners.
