ANJ Overhauls Liste Sport to Safeguard Sports Integrity

Share

The extensive sports betting offers list known as “Liste Sport,” which is regulated by France’s gaming authority, L’Autorité Nationale Des Jeux (ANJ), has been redesigned and now contains 772 items. This substantial cut comes after the ANJ carried out a comprehensive market research in December.

Liste Sport’s main goals are to gather approved sports betting options in France, stop match-fixing, limit wagers on certain events, and forbid wagers based on insider information. The most recent changes, which eliminated a number of tournaments, are intended to strengthen safeguards against the falsification of outcomes in professional sports.

ANJ’s Justifications and Criteria

The ANJ explained that Liste Sport had not changed significantly since 2010 and had become less comprehensible over time, making the modification essential. Certain tournaments, like the Armenian soccer championship, ceased to meet ANJ’s requirements, while others, like the Tunisian soccer league, offered a higher danger of match manipulation.

A total of 179 contests were eliminated in an effort to improve the list’s efficiency while preserving its integrity.

The ANJ pointed out that, because of its popularity, only the NCAA’s First Division final (March Madness) will continue to be an approved offering. However, further NCAA regulations were implemented in order to lessen the possibility of match-fixing in the competition.

Concurrently, certain previous restrictions were lifted. Notably, basketball bets on the number of points scored by players, even if below 20, are now permissible. Additionally, the ban on handicap bets in tennis has been lifted.
