The French, ANJ-regulated market has shifted a fair bit recently. Winamax
remains the domestic favourite with 100% French liquidity, while PokerStars.fr
leads the market overall thanks to its shared pool with Spain and Portugal. On the network
side: Betclic Poker left the iPoker Network to go fully independent in early
2025, and PMU Poker moved onto iPoker shortly after — so today the French
iPoker skins are PMU and Bwin, not the old partypoker.fr lineup some players might remember.
