France’s regulated online gambling market continued to be plagued by ennui in the third quarter of 2015, with only sports betting showing real signs of life.

Figures released late last week by the country’s gaming regulator, l’Autorité de regulation des jeux en ligne (ARJEL), show overall online gambling revenue in the three months ending Sept. 30 sipping 0.3% year-on-year to €176.1m.

Sports betting revenue improved 3% to €62m as the ranks of active sports bettors rose 5% to 165k. Horse betting revenue was also up, albeit only 5% to €60.1m, while race betting turnover was flat at €238m.

Online poker continued to stink out the joint, with overall revenue falling 5% to €54m. Tournament poker stakes actually improved 21% year-on-year but these gains were undone by a 20% fall in cash game stakes.
