The government of France might soon ease back on its strict regulations against eSports.

Competitive gaming is classified as a gambling event under current French laws, and because of this, the country has become an unappealing location to tournament organizers who are required to jump through many hoops to put up high-profile gaming events in the country.

But there is a new legislation that seeks to disassociate eSports events from gambling, which is considered an illegal activity in France.

Titled “The Digital Republic Bill,” the proposed legislation also aims to expand the definition of athletes to include competitive gaming players. This, in turn, will allow eSports players to contribute their taxes towards government pension plans and other social nets.
