Industry worried about potential French payments regulation

The Electronic Money Association (EMA) has called on the French government to review the regulatory requirements payment services providers and operators will be asked to implement once regulation is enacted later this year.

The EMA, which  includes payment companies ranging from PayPal and Mastercard to Citadel Commerce and Envoy Services, has met with French figures involved in the new regulation such as the Senate’s rapporteur Francois Trucy, the French Online Gaming Regulatory Authority (ARJEL) and the French Association of Online Gaming Operators (AFOJEL) to discuss Article 12 of the draft law.

Article 12 of France’s draft regulation of online gaming calls for all account funding to be made though players’ bank accounts, with pre-paid cards and e-wallets not allowed to be offered as payment options by operators. This would mean that a player using a debit card to fund his account would not be able to use any other payment mechanism such as a credit or pre-paid card. The only way for players to change payment methods would be to close down their existing accounts and open a new one.

With the draft law to be debated in the French Senate this week, the EMA has called on the situation to be clarified so that additional payment forms to the same account are allowed. Such a measure would not constitute a money-laundering risk as the funds would be traced back to a single account, it said.

Another measure requested by the French regulation would see operators and payment services firms required to share data on new accounts to ensure they have been given the same information by players opening accounts. Such a measure would mean companies located in different countries having to exchange sensitive information across borders, but more importantly would go against every aspect of consumer data protection in force in European countries.

French politicians involved in the regulatory debates are worried that players’ lack of familiarity with electronic money will lead to problem gambling and money laundering-related problems. However, the payment industry for its part is worried that politicians’ own lack of knowledge about how online payments and transactions work will lead them to enact regulation that is unnecessary and costly.

The EMA told iGaming France that it was hopeful French Senators would be receptive to allowing more than one method of payment to fund accounts but less so about not having to share player data.
