ARJEL president Vilotte set to resign
Jean-François Vilotte expected to step down from his role next month after three years at the French regulator
The president of L’autorité de regulation des jeux en ligne (ARJEL) Jean-François Vilotte is set to announce his departure from the French regulator after more three years in the role.
According to reports in the French media, Vilotte is expected to announce his resignation at a press conference on Wednesday and will officially step down from the role in January in order to pursue “other activities” in the private sector.
Vilotte was hired as president of the French regulator in May 2010 having previously worked as director general at the French Tennis Federation from 2007 to 2009 and also held a number of positions in the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
His departure comes despite having two years left to serve in the role and follows a complete restructuring of ARJEL in October as the regulator looks to better meet the needs of the regulated online gambling industry.
