French regulator unveils new-look responsible gambling website

France’s primary responsible gambling website ‘Evalujeu’ has received a makeover, among other upgrades, in a bid to improve accessibility.
The platform, which was originally launched back in 2016, allows French gamblers to evaluate their activity by taking a test.

Users complete a questionnaire based on the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI), selecting answers from a drop down list.
A risk level is then determined, and players deemed at-risk are encouraged to seek help; contact details for relevant organisations are provided.

France’s National Gambling Authority (ANJ) said: “Depending on the result displayed, personalised advice is formulated to help the player maintain recreational play or to help them regain control.”
But, after seven years of service, the ANJ has decided it is time for a makeover, or as the regulator put it, a “new visual identity.”

However, in order for the website to deliver a “better user experience,” the ANJ has also introduced several new features.
For example, the questionnaire can now be adapted to suit users’ specific preferences, whether that be sports betting, online casino or anything else.
“Thus, during the Football league, users will be able to find a test related to sports betting,” the ANJ said.

A search tool has also been introduced to aid navigation, making certain content more accessible. Content is also now available in different formats, such as short videos and “testimonial podcasts.”
The ANJ added: “In particular, we learn how to detect the signs of problem gambling and its consequences and what support structures are available

The recent makeover of France's responsible gambling website, Evalujeu, aims to enhance accessibility and improve user experience. Originally launched in 2016, Evalujeu allows French gamblers to evaluate their gambling activities by taking a test. The test is based on the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI), and users select answers from a drop-down list. Based on the results, a risk level is determined, and players considered at-risk are encouraged to seek help, with contact details for relevant organizations provided.

The National Gambling Authority (ANJ) of France expressed that personalized advice is given to players based on their test results, in order to help them maintain responsible play or regain control over their gambling habits. After seven years of service, the ANJ decided it was time for a "new visual identity" for Evalujeu.

To provide a better user experience, several new features have been introduced to the website. The questionnaire can now be adapted to cater to users' specific preferences, whether it's sports betting, online casino, or other forms of gambling. For instance, during the Football league, users will find a test related to sports betting. Additionally, a search tool has been implemented to improve navigation, making certain content more accessible. Content is also available in different formats, such as short videos and testimonial podcasts. These features aim to help users learn how to detect signs of problem gambling, understand its consequences, and become aware of available support structures.

Overall, the updated Evalujeu website and its new features aim to provide a more user-friendly and informative experience for French gamblers, promoting responsible gambling behaviors and offering support to those who may need it.
