There are two main bodies responsible for the regulation of the gambling industry in France  PMU (Pari Mutuel Urbain) and (FDJ) Franaise des Jeux. PMU deals with horseracing, FDJ is responsible for betting games and lotteries. Both operators are state-owned. In 2010 France legalized online gambling as well.

Some prominent jurisdictions where online gambling is legal and regulated include the United Kingdom, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, and Alderney. These countries have established licensing authorities that oversee online gambling operators, ensuring consumer protection and fair play.
