Online Poker Encouraged by Ruling Overturned in France

The Cour de Cessation stated that the initial ruling to ban Zeturf’s horse betting could not be justified, according to a report last Wednesday. Some look to this ruling as a positive sign to bolster efforts of online poker and online gambling in France…
