France’s gambling regulator has fined an unnamed operator €75,000 for failing to archive and transmit mandatory data.
It is a legal requirement for all licensed online gambling operators in France to record customer gaming data and submit this to the National Gaming Authority (ANJ).
The unnamed operator is said to have failed to meet its obligations on two occasions during a 25-month period between 2022 and 2024, in breach of France’s Online Gambling Act.
The first breach saw the operator fail to send data to the regulator on several million euros worth of bets, while the second breach related to the transmission of more than 900,000 defective records to the ANJ.
The ANJ said that the failure to transmit this information has a significant impact on its control of the regulated market, particularly regarding the monitoring of player return rates and the detection of pathological gambling.
As a result, the Sanctions Committee has imposed a financial penalty of €75,000 on the operator.
