Question 12445 — games and betting

Summary

Ms. Colette Capdevielle draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to sports betting and the excesses of the latter in terms of marketing and sponsorship. Today, sports betting represents the second most practiced form of gambling in France, just after lottery games. It is also the only category whose prevalence has increased within of the adult population in recent years, with a volume of bets multiplied by 2.8 in five years. Since 2010, the opening to competition has led to a gradual intensification of promotional strategies, as well as the promotion by numerous influencers of these gambling games on social networks. In a recent report published in September 2025, the Addictions France association identified nearly 2,300 pieces of content the promotion of sports betting on social networks in 2024. These formats, often unregulated, are flooding the digital space and targeting, relying on sophisticated data collection and analysis techniques, young audiences, exposing them to constant incitement. This aggressive strategy constitutes a dangerous breeding ground for addiction to games of money and chance, the financial, social and emotional consequences of which (depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, suicidal thoughts) and many others, are particularly edifying. Although guidelines have been issued by the National Gaming Authority (ANJ), nearly 30% of the content identified by Addictions France does not respect these lines. An analysis by the OFDT estimates this proportion at 60%. She wishes to know what actions the Government intends to take to effectively regulate the advertising for sports betting both online and offline. She would also like to know if additional means will be made available to the ANJ to enforce its guidelines and take dissuasive sanctions.
