It looks like France might be taking an anti-gambling stance (or at least a protectionist stance for its own gambling)

[jjgold]

yes as are most other poker sites and sportsbooks

They will still be around, even without France or US.

France is a very small proportion of the European market, I don't recall going up against a French guy there actually.

people said the same thing when they pulled out of the usa market/they will still be around and strong

And party gaming will get smart. Paradise has already sent me an email saying open a bank outside the US - other sites will follow.

Banking outside the US really solves all problems for these sites.
