ANJ Renews Six-member Sanctions Commission
The Sanctions Commission of French regulator Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) has been renewed.
Six members have been confirmed and will now serve a six-year term, responsible for issuing fines and suspensions, among other sanctions.
Frédéric Dieu will chair the commission, and is one of the two members from France’s Conseil d’État, alongside Dorothée Pradines.
Joining them are Fabrice Delbano and Véronique Boisselett, advisers to the French Court of Cassation, as well as Nicolas Brunner and Maud Choquet, judges from the Cour des Comptes.
These six members are empowered to levy sanctions against non-compliant operators, which can range from warnings to financial penalties, though these may not exceed 5% of a company’s turnover.
When the ANJ believes an operator has not “complied with its obligations,” and “if it considers it appropriate,” the ANJ’s college can “seize” the Sanctions Commission.
To this end, following a meeting of the ANJ’s nine-member college last month, several issues have been brought before the Commission.
No operator may return to players more than 85% of the stakes they have placed, but seven were found to have violated this rule for the year 2021.
Consequently, this matter has now been brought before the Sanctions Commission to discuss further action.
Another two operators also stand accused of disregarding their obligation to “identify and support people whose gambling is excessive or pathological.”
More specifically, the ANJ noted that customers whose gambling was “manifestly excessive or pathological would not have been spotted, or would have been spotted late by the operators.”
The regulator continued: “In addition, the support measures implemented for them would have been unsuitable.”

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
