Casino PMU, FDU : 60 million euros per day on games
Oh! that's a lot! In fact in 2009 the french gambled the sum of 60 million euros in three distinct areas: the Francaise des Jeux, the PMU and actual casinos.
Information without real interest except to show those who still doubted it, that the french are born gamblers! An explanation in figures of a phenomenon which if not staggering is at least impressive.
Our colleagues in the Figaro have announced it with great ceremony, the french gamble! Certainly this is major news! But how do they gamble? 60 million euros which is the modest sum of 21,900 million euros per year. That is 21 billion! And our colleagues in the AFP add that it is the price of an airbus or two secondary schools per day!
In brief an amazing sum which shows several things.
Firstly, we have already said it, the french are gamblers! Yes nothing new up to now.
But above all, on the eve of the opening up of the gaming market in France, earmarked for the 1st of June 2010, it's a figure which makes the whole of the off shore or legal operators, who are waiting for the start of the regulation of this more than juicy market, dream. Bwin, Betclic, Bet-at-home, Palace Vip Casino or Titan are also eager to share in that 21 billion. Because, and this figure doesn't show it, the french also gamble millions not to mention billions of euros every year through illegal offshore sites. It's impossible to get an exact figure for this sum which must be added to the 21 billion legally gambled in France.
The offshore operators want this 21 billion euros for themselves and the legal operators in France want the amounts spent on these illegal sites. Each one wants what the other has. But what about the French gamer? Who looks after his well being, his protection and his right to gamble? Because in a world where everything is a question of money, bonuses, deposits, transactions, scratching or betting, the player as a human being must be respected and protected. So even if 21 billion is a magnificent sum we must not forget that behind it are men and women!
