Online casinos and sports books from around the world stand ready for the World Cup in South Africa. The most popular event in international sports will mean huge amounts of money being spent in online casinos around the world. It is not just sporting bets that will celebrate this event, as casinos everywhere are hosting special events and promotions. The betting already begun months ago and the favorite seem to be Spain, followed by Brazil and England.

After years of waiting and months of excitement, the French gambling market finally took the most important step for legalizing online casinos. The national gambling regulator, ARJEL, awarded the first 17 licenses to 11 operators just before the start of the South African World Cup. Although not all types of online casino games will be supported, the move is still impressive. The only operations that will be offered by these casinos will be horse racing, sports betting on organized events and online poker.
