PartyGaming is the only one of the four to also be awarded a sports betting licence. The company has been active with business-to-business deals in France over the past few months.

The first French-only sites are expected to be operational later in the summer.

The first tranche of licences were issued early this month and included Everest Gaming, Betclic, and bwin.
