As for both historical operators of the French market, the PMU (Pari Mutuel Urbain) and the FDJ (Française des Jeux), they knew how to benefit from their position of monopoly. Indeed, as both organisms are the only ones authorized to offer gambling games except casinos, they took advantage of it to take a length beforehand in front of possible competitors. The FDJ and the PMU already offer to their players the possibility of validating their tickets on internet and also prepare a wide fan of online games. French players who, up to there, showed a big patience in devoting completely and legally to their passions; can breathe, because the fateful date is farther. The market of online games will be opened before the football world cup in South Africa which is going to begin on June the 11th, 2010.
