French Poker players will be happy to hear that online poker, online gambling and sports bets have been made legal when a bill was recently passed in congress. Online Gambling operators must acquire a special permit and they must run by the rules and regulations stipulated by the bill. A gambling tax of 2% will be charged for poker and the fees will be given to gambling addiction programs.
