Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about licensed sports betting, our methodology, and your personal data.
Is online sports betting legal in France?
Yes, provided you bet with an operator licensed by the ANJ (Autorité Nationale des Jeux, the French regulator). You can check the list of licensed operators directly on anj.fr.
What is the minimum age to bet online?
You must be at least 18 years old. ANJ-licensed operators are required to verify their customers' age before registration.
How does Pulse Sports Betting select and evaluate operators?
We only review operators licensed by the ANJ. Our editorial score is based on five criteria: odds and market variety, clarity of bonus terms, mobile app quality, security/licensing, and customer-service responsiveness. These scores reflect our own analysis, not aggregated user reviews.
Is Pulse Sports Betting compensated by the operators it features?
Pulse Sports Betting may receive a commission when a visitor registers with an operator through our links. This compensation does not influence our editorial scores. More details on our Disclosure page.
How can I bet responsibly?
Set yourself a budget and time limit before betting, never try to "chase" a loss, and take regular breaks. If you feel you are losing control, contact Joueurs Info Service at 09 74 75 13 13 (toll-free within France) or at joueurs-info-service.fr.
How can I verify that an operator actually holds an ANJ license?
Visit the official ANJ page listing the customer services of licensed operators and check that the domain name matches the one indicated by the regulator.
What should I do in case of a dispute with an operator?
First contact the customer service of the relevant operator. If the dispute persists, you can refer the matter to the gambling ombudsman ("médiateur des jeux d'argent et de hasard") or contact the ANJ directly via anj.fr.
