My friends call me Pepito – I’ll save your time and not share the story on how I got this name! I am a sports betting enthusiast, my passion first started by betting on the 2010 World Cup. Since 2010 my passion has only grown, betting with friends and looking for any edge we can find. The result has been thousands of bets placed across hundreds of different bookmakers, markets, leagues, and even within different countries. In my experience there are very few honest comparison websites out there and even fewer that actually give you all the options. So, I was inspired to make listofallbookmakers.com. Here we give you all the options (not just those who will pay websites like ours 😉) with transparent reviews. I like to highlight the items that I look for when finding a new bookie – mainly being competitiveness of the odds, variety of bets to place, welcome offers, and trustworthiness. We’re a small but passionate team looking to help out all types of bettors from across the world!

Hello List Of All Bookmakers readers! My name is Robert, though I also go by Rob, Bob, Boby, a few other nicknames depending on what circle I’m running in, or how “professional” I need to appear 😅. I’m 29 years old and originally from Canada (La Belle Province), although I have been living around the world for the past 6 years as a digital nomad. I’ve spent time living across Europe and Canada, enjoying different cultures and experiences, all while working remotely as a content writer and website manager. I am a friend of Pépito who shares his passion for sports betting, which was the major catalyst for me to join the List Of All Bookmakers project. Within sports betting, I get most of my fun from claiming lucrative promos and welcome offers, what many refer to as “bonus hunting”. Bonus hunting involves searching for welcome offers, promotions, and other opportunities for players to turn bonus cash into real cash efficiently. There are enough welcome bonuses out there to fill a lifetime of work, my speciality is finding the best ones that are worth your time to claim. Like Pépito, I’m an active member in a small community of online betting and online casino enthusiasts. My travels (and my VPN 😇) allow me to test most casinos before we publish reviews. Sharing my knowledge, experience, and of course must-claim offers is a real passion of mine, and exactly what I will be bringing to LOAB!

All Bookmakers in France Compared

We listed all 15 licensed French bookmakers and their sign up bonuses above but we’ve also reviewed each of them and ranked them below.

We’ve rated the best bookmakers in France based on a number of factors including their welcome bonuses and regular promotions, the number of markets they offer, the quality of their odds, their website, apps and English (if they offer it), their payment methods, and any extra features they have that set them apart.

Is Online Betting Legal in France?

Yes, since May 12th, 2010 online betting has been legal and regulated in France. This includes both sports and horse racing betting online, as well as online poker. French betting sites are regulated by the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) (which has an English website).

As in most countries, players do not have to pay tax on their winnings in France, provided that they use a licensed French bookmaker (all of which are listed on this page).

We recommend betting with legal French bookmakers for this reason, and because they must follow strict data protection and problem gambling protocols which will ultimately keep you safer. Payments to and from legal betting sites are also recognised as legitimate by French banks and there is also a legal process to settle any disputes you may have with a bookmaker through the ANJ (two things which are not true for unlicensed betting sites).

What’s the Best Betting Site in France?

Ultimately, the best betting site in France is going to be different for you than it is for us, you may not speak any French so need an English website, or perhaps you just want the best bonus, or need a betting site with a certain payment method. In saying this, here’s what we think:

Unibet is the best French betting site. They have the biggest welcome bonus, consistently good odds, many betting markets, regular promos, quality apps, enough payment methods to keep most players happy and both live chat and phone support.

And even though they don’t offer an English language option but they are one of the few French betting sites with Poker and horse racing.

When it comes to French bookmakers with English you’ve only got two options: bet365 & PokerStars. For sports betting, you’ve really only got one option, which is bet365. Thankfully they’re one of the best products in the market for mobile and desktop play.
