In the
month of August, the online casinos were riding high in the soccer clubs. We
then attended a new era taken! The euphoria of the online casinos as club
sponsor!
Indeed,
888.com Casino was sponsoring FC Toulouse and Nantes PartyGaming the CANF! Yes
but here, it was not counting on the Professional Football League.
Last
Sunday, on the jerseys of Toulouse FC, there were the colors of the casino but
the signs ???. Com. What is so ???. Com you say. It is simply his sponsor
888.com Casino.
Why?
While the
players are obliged to wear the colors and the name of the casino, the League
has, meanwhile, decided to exclude casinos from advertising and sponsorship.
Hence the omission. Now, everyone will understand the acronym - did refer to
the sponsor casino team.
The League
explains its refusal. Due to the arrest of some online casino giants since
September, the derneir dated Bwin arrested in France, the league sees the right
to ban advertising, sponsorship for online paris.
Saturday,
another team, FC Monaco met the same problem as the Toulouse FC during his
match against Le Mans. A team representative explained that without this
alternative, the start of the match could not have been given.
We still
remember the words of Jean-Luc Gripond, vice president of the Nantes club,
"the FCNA decided to partner with a new sponsor:" first an
international dimension and our football needs partners in this dimension
secondly a link with new technologies, which represents for us the future.

What about
today?
A survey
was conducted (see our article Good News for Online Casinos).
The paris
are state monopoly in France and one might think that the BWin arrests of
executives took place for the benefit of the French games. Also, shortly after
the European Commission decided to pay more attention to the issue of the state
monopoly for paris and games. The will of the commission is clearly displayed,
either the Member States consider them harmful to their nationals and
completely prohibit online gambling, or they allow and enable companies like
888.com offer their services on the market.
