But for multi-table tournaments, the implications are horrific.

I don't get this bit. surely it would be a piece of piss for sites to run mtts as normal and apply state/country specific tax to the winnings wouldn't it? or is the problem with writing off losses?

I think the idea was to completely isolate the French to protect them from bots.  The seriously ignorant ppl who debated this law postulated that if every player had a French address that would prevent bots.  They appeared to think that bots roamed the interweb as independent beings.

Like the sentinels?

Actually don't worry, seem to have found some stuff.

What are other sites doing though? Are ipoker/IPN etc going to cut out the French and just leave them to go to pokerstars.fr ?

Fantastic article.

Certainly smacks of protectionism which surely is against EU laws.
