Française des Jeux (FDJ), the operator of France’s national lottery games, has announced the implementation of a comprehensive insurance policy to cover its counterparty risk from January 1, 2020.

One of the changes involved in the tax and regulatory reform carried out as part of the privatisation of FDJ was the discontinuation of the “counterparty fund” system.

This reform is part of a broader process of clarifying the relations between the state and the company, which is now responsible for covering counterparty risk through an insurance policy, at its own expense.

FDJ has taken out a comprehensive insurance policy with a number of top-tier French and international insurers and reinsurers to cover its counterparty risk, which will take effect from January 1, 2020.

This contract, drawn up with insurance broker Marsh, provides a guarantee for the gains falling within its scope on an aggregate basis. It provides annual coverage of up to €150 million. All costs related to this insurance policy are in line with expectations and are covered by the planned budget.

Online gambling company GVC Holdings has opened a new office in Rome. The company has migrated all its Italian divisions to the new office, which will house around 360 staff of its Eurobet, bwin and Gioco Digitale Italia properties.

Located in the Lungotevere district near Rome’s city centre, the new six-floor (approx. 4200 sqm) office will house all the operational teams, servicing a key European market territory for the FTSE enterprise.

GVC details that its Rome office relocation forms part of its final post-Ladbrokes Coral merger plans, driving operational and co-synergy efficiencies across an enlarged group.

Establishing its new Rome office, GVC management states that its enlarged Italian division will be better maintained within the Lungotevere district, securing access to a better transport network in an “area which is one of the best served in greater Rome.”
