This is a picture of the skyline of Marigot, a capital of the French Overseas Collectivity of Saint Martin (Collectivité de Saint-Martin). On this page, you can read about the legislation, rules, licensing, taxation of the various forms of games of chance and online gambling in the country, including: poker, bingo, lottery, sports betting, cryptocurrency wagering, and a list of online gambling sites which accept players from the Collectivity of Saint Martin.

Collectivity of Saint Martin Gambling Guide

Gambling is legal in the Collectivity of Saint Martin (Collectivité de Saint-Martin, a small Caribbean island nation, with a population of 34 K, a French overseas territory), according to the French gambling act: Article L.320-1 of the French Code of Homeland Security (Chapitre préliminaire : Dispositions communes  – Articles L320-1 à L320-18)*.

The island of Saint Martin is divided between the Collectivity of Saint Martin a French overseas collectivity, where French gambling laws apply (this one), and the Dutch Sint Maarten, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, where the gambling legislation is not based on Dutch gambling laws, and where gambling is technically unregulated, despite the country having 13 casinos. Both half of the island is often referred to as Saint Martin or St. Martin, which can confuse people new to the region. However, when it comes to games of chance, brick  & mortar establishments and online gambling, they are very different.

Most forms of online gambling in Collectivity of Saint Martin are also legal since 2010, according to Law 2010-476 (Loi no. 2010-476 du 12 mai 2010 relative à l’ouverture à la concurrence et à la régulation du secteur des jeux d’argent et de hasard en ligne)**. Licensing and regulation is done by the French governmental organizations, and it is not regulated locally (more of this in the internet betting, wagering licensing section below).

The french side of St. Martin island is the poorer, less developed part, and gets less tourists than the Dutch territory. Therefore, even though gambling is legal according to French gambling laws, the Collectivity has no casinos whatsoever. All the casinos, slot halls, and casino hotels are on the Dutch side, near the beaches, hotels, airport, and docks, where most of the tourists can be found. But the real reason is actually taxation, the French gambling taxation system is the worst in the world, and France, and its overseas territories have the highest gambling tax in the world (details can be seen below, in the gambling taxation section below).

By scrolling below, you can see a list of online gambling websites which accept players from the Collectivity of Saint Martin.

If you are new to the French part of St. Martin, watch the following video to get to know this less visited part of the island (significantly less visited compared to the Dutch part of the island, and other Caribbean islands, said to receive 20x less tourists that the Dutch side):

 

Can tourists play online while visiting French Saint Martin?

Yes, the online gambling laws of any country only apply to citizens and lawful permanent residents, if you are a tourist (or a non-citizen expat, or illegal), you can play online freely while enjoying your vacation.

 

Gambling licensing in the Collectivity of Saint Martin

Saint Martin doesn’t have its own gambling regulatory and licensing authority. Instead, games of chance, online licenses and land-based gambling licensing is handled by the French regulatory agencies.

Betting activities have traditionally been divided between the Pari Mutuel Hippodrome (PMH) and the Pari Mutuel Urbaine (PMU). Lottery, as well as some lottery-style games such as bingo, are in the hands of Francaise des Jeux (FDJ).

Online gambling and the licensing of brick & mortar gambling houses are the domain of by the Autorité de régulation des jeux en ligne (ARJEL) UPDATE: L’Autorité nationale des Jeux ANJ replaces ARJEL as the regulatory authority of most forms of gambling and online gambling from 2020. You have to contact them if you want to set up a gambling establishment, or get an online gambling license.

Online gambling has been legal and regulated in France and its overseas territories. Three forms of gambling are currently permitted to be conducted online by licensed private companies:

  • sports betting,
  • poker,
  • and horse race betting.

 

UPDATE: The licensing process, fees, procedures were overhauled entirely in 2019, during  the implementation of PACTE Act. The whole process is now more business friendly, fees are lower, and it is streamlined, the document, which lists all the changes, is attached below.***

Gambling tax in the Collectivity of Saint Martin

French gambling taxes apply, which are extremely high:

Gambling tax in France and overseas territories (tax base is gross gaming revenue, from 2020 onwards, annual):

  • 37.7% horse racing tax
  • 40.8% online poker tax
  • 55.2% online sports betting tax
  • 44.5% retail sports betting tax
  • lottery tax is 54.5% and the tax on other lottery like games (bingo, keno, raffles) is 42%

 

Gaming clubs (special type of casino, VIP, entrance fee, dress code):

  • 10% of revenue, up to EUR100,000.
  • 30% of revenue, EUR100,000 – EUR1,500,000.
  • 40% of revenue, EUR1,500,000 – EUR2,600,000.
  • 55% of revenue, EUR2,600,000 – EUR5,500,000.
  • 70% of revenue, above EUR5,500,000

 

Casinos, it’s 28% first + the following progressive tax on the remainder, based on annual gross gaming revenue:

  • Up to EUR100,000: 6%.
  • EUR100,001 and EUR200,000: 16%.
  • EUR200,001 and EUR500,000: 25%.
  • EUR500,001 and EUR1 million: 37%.
  • EUR1,000,001 and EUR1.5 million: 47%.
  • EUR1,500,001 and EUR4.7 million: 58%.
  • EUR4,700,001 and EUR7.8 million: 63.3%.
  • EUR7,800,001 and EUR11 million: 67.6%.
  • EUR11,000,001 and EUR14 million: 72%.
  • EUR14 million: 83.5%

 

If this wasn’t enough, a 11.2% tax is paid on the 68% of the gross gambling revenue from slot machines.

In addition, every gambling establishments has to pay a 13.7% withholding tax on any winnings by players equal to or exceeding EUR 1,500 (this is because gambling winnings over €1500 are taxable in France and players never paid taxes on them, so now casinos have to).

As you can see, it’s incredibly high, the highest gambling tax rate in all of the world!

Keep in mind, that this gambling tax is paid on top of regular, corporate tax (can be as high as 31%), and taxes paid on the wages of employees (of course some of it is deductible, but still). In fact, with this crazy system, it’s possible for a casinos to get really close to a 100% effective tax rate.

 

For players, taxation of gambling winnings in French St. Martin: Gambling winnings over €1500 are taxable, 12% tax rate. However, licensed domestic companies are required to pay taxes on your winnings, not you. Therefore, as long as you play in a licensed establishment, you don’t have to pay any taxes (it’s automatically deducted from your winnings).

However, if you play abroad, or online, and if you win over €1500, you would have to pay taxes on it.

/In reality, this is rarely enforced, but if you win a really big amount, e.g.: €100 000+, I would certainly suggest paying taxes on it, otherwise you can get into a lot of trouble. Of course, I advise paying taxes on your winnings all the time, not paying taxes is illegal, but realistically, it’s not really enforced when it comes to small amounts./

Bingo in St. Martin: legal, requires license (must be within licensed gambling establishments)

Online bingo in St. Martin: legal, state monopoly of FDJ (Française des Jeux)

 

Bingo is legal in France and its territories. However, it appears to be not popular. There is little to no information about land-based bingo in Saint Martin, and there aren’t any bingo halls on the French side of the island.

Online bingo is a state monopoly in France and its territories, private companies can not get an online bingo license. The state-owned company, Française des Jeux is the only company allowed to conduct bingo games online.

The following bingo websites accept players from Saint Martin:

Française des Jeux, it’s a monopoly

 

Poker in the Collectivity of Saint Martin

Poker in St. Martin: legal, requires license (must be within licensed casinos)

Online poker in St. Martin: legal, requires license

 

Poker is not just about luck, it’s also about skill, knowledge, strategy, and it has quite the competitive scene. In a few countries poker is no longer considered a game of chance (e.g. Brazil, India), instead it’s either classified as a sport, or a game of skill. However, according to French gambling laws, poker is definitely a game of chance (jeux de hasard). Therefore, it can only be played within licensed casinos, which the Collectivity of Saint Martin has none.

Online poker is  legal in St. Martin. it is one of the 3 permitted forms of digital gambling (along with sports betting and horse racing betting). Operators have to acquire the proper license.

The following online poker sites accept players from St. Martin.

The following online casino websites have poker and accept players from St. Martin:

UPDATE 2021: Nothing currently, sorry, none of the online poker platforms I use accept poker players from St. Martin, due to the agressive blocking of the French government, and due to the extremely high online poker taxes, the poker networks I use elected to not get a license, it’s just not worth it.

 

Sports betting in the Collectivity of Saint Martin

Bookmakers, betting shops in St. Martin: legal, requires proper license

Online sports betting in St. Martin: legal, requires proper license

 

Sports betting is legal according to French laws, but here is no info on any bookmakers or betting shops present in the Collectivity of Saint Martin. Most likely the extremely high gambling tax dissuades sports betting companies from investing into the country, just like it happened with casinos. But if you know of any sports betting facility in French St. Martin, please drop a comment and let me know.

Online sports betting is also legal for companies with a French online gambling license.

The online sportsbooks below accept registrations from Saint Martin.

Online lottery in St. Martin: legal, state monopoly of FDJ

 

The island nation does not have its own lottery. However, The Frech Lottery is active in the region, and it is the the sole provider of lottery and online lottery products. The lottery in France and its territories is a state monopoly of the government-owned company, Française des Jeux (FDJ).

Some online lotteries still accept lottery players from St. Martin, despite this (they are licensed in countries, where offering lottery services to French citizens is legal), locals can also buy lottery tickets on these platforms (and they are always better than the state owned monopoly, because unlike them, they actually have to compete for players, with great bonuses, competitive prices, and huge jackpots).

The following websites allow people from St. Martin to purchase lottery tickets online:

There aren't any online lottery sites, which would accept players from the country. Because online lottery is either illegal or a monopoly of the state-owned national lottery of the country (you can read the details above).

You have to manually enter the bitcoin raffle every hour and you will be able to win anywhere between 0.00000009 BTC - 0.00878696 BTC + occasional special prizes.



You can realistically make around €200 per month if you roll every hour and participate in all the other promotions they have as well (wheel of fortune, lottery tickets etc..., all free).

/However, you have to manually spin every hour to get this amount, including at night, therefore, realistically, the amount you can expect will be less./

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Logo of Kiva.org. You can read about my non-profit activity right next to the picture.
Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
