PartyGaming has struck its third business-to-business (B2B) deal in France in as many months, and has confirmed that it will apply for a French licence.
The latest deal will see Aviation Club de France, a land-based gambling venue situated off the Champs Elysees in Paris and France’s leading card room, with more than 100,000 members, join PartyGaming’s French poker network when new laws permit it to.
Aviation Club de France will join other operators on the network including PartyGaming’s own France-facing site, PartyGaming.fr, current French horse racing monopoly Pari-Mutuel Urbain (PMU) following a deal struck in March, and TV broadcaster AB Groupe following a deal signed last month.
Today’s new coincides with PartyGaming confirming that it is to apply for a French licence as expected.
The licence system, which was cleared by the French parliament this time last month, means that PartyGaming will switch off domestic casino and bingo when licensing is approved, resulting in the removal of annualised revenues of roughly $12m.
