(France).- France’s iGaming sector has posted a record €617m ($716m) turnover for Q2 2021, driven primarily by sports betting.
According to the country’s gaming regulator, L’Autorité nationale des jeux (ANJ), sports betting brought in €420m for the second quarter, totalling 68% of online gambling revenue to reclaim its role for a second time this year as the top vertical.
The volume of sports betting stakes dipped below Q1’s record-setting €2.2bn sum to €2.15bn, with the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship and the French Open having an undeniable impact on player’s behaviour during both periods.
In fact, bets on these competitions represented 22% of Q2’s activity, with €434m worth of online transactions taking place during the Euros alone.
