The former Française des Jeux began the year aiming for slight revenue growth and now expects a mid-single-digit decline, with its margin target trimmed to around 23%. Fewer big EuroMillions jackpots, high winnings for retail bettors and tax rises did most of the damage.
France's regulated gambling market barely grew in the first half, and only because online sports betting had a World Cup June. The regulator now says the full-year figure depends on whether a record 5.85 million active online accounts keep playing after the tournament, and on a lottery operator whose French revenue is shrinking.
The former Secretary General of the European Gaming and Betting Association is the first Director General of the World Gaming and Betting Alliance, a Swiss association whose listed members are bet365, Entain, FDJ United, Flutter and EGBA itself. The Geneva commercial register shows it was founded on 9 July and already had Haijer as a signatory before EGBA announced he was leaving.
Applications to Finland's National Police Board have risen by half since June, beating researchers' estimates, but processing now takes six to eight months and the market opens on 1 July 2027. The first licences will decide who can advertise to Finns first.
FDJ United has shifted its online betting and gaming strategy from acquisitions to technology transformation, with CEO Stéphane Pallez outlining accelerated internal platform migration, stack consolidation, and stricter focus on platform control as tax and regulatory pressure intensifies across Europe.
