However, recent reports indicating the French government is crafting new regulations for Web3 trailblazers underscore the industry&#8217;s significance to French authorities.<\/p>\n<p>**Homepage > Technology &#038; Advancement > Sorare: Navigating Regulatory Terrain**<\/p>\n<p>**Sorare: Navigating Regulatory Terrain**<br \/>\nSorare has declared in a Medium publication that it has revised its product roadmap as a &#8220;temporary resolution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This choice was made &#8220;in accordance with directives from the French National Gambling Authority [l\u2019Autorit\u00e9 National des Jeux (ANJ)] which established an alternative entry option for French users.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In essence, Sorare has introduced free-to-play access for French participants in their fantasy sports leagues. Notably, the French version of the company&#8217;s announcement, unlike the English text, mentions that this new entry option will be available for players &#8220;without blockchain cards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>**A Reflection of Regulatory Scrutiny**<br \/>\nIn general, Sorare&#8217;s adjustment is a reflection of the regulatory scrutiny the organization has faced from the ANJ for over a year.<\/p>\n<p>In December, iGB explained that the group functioned by issuing virtual player cards as NFTs, which players acquired on the Ethereum platform and utilized to construct their own fantasy teams. <\/p>\n<p>The execution of athletes on the pitch influences the worth of the playing pieces, which can fluctuate. These pieces can also be exchanged on Sorare&#8217;s digital market.<\/p>\n<p>The effect of real-world athlete performance on card value, mirroring the win-loss factors in sports wagering, has caught the attention of the ANJ.<\/p>\n<p>As part of ongoing communication between the two entities, the ANJ has requested that Sorare provide players with a more readily available free-to-play option and give them an equal chance of winning, regardless of whether they pay to participate.<\/p>\n<p>The group&#8217;s update deadline was March 31st, but was later extended to May 26th.<\/p>\n<p>**New Game Mode**<\/p>\n<p>Sorare&#8217;s new mode allows French players to participate in contests without having to purchase NFT\/blockchain cards. ANJ President Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin told Le Echo that this option &#8220;eliminates the concept of financial sacrifice (wagering), which is one of the criteria considered for real money games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added that if Sorare doesn&#8217;t adjust its model, it could be blocked by the ANJ.<\/p>\n<p>However, further examination of the news raises more inquiries, such as:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If French users opt to use this new method in any given game week, they cannot submit a different lineup in the same game week that includes NFT-backed cards they possess.&#8221; Sorare told iGB.<\/p>\n<p>**Sorare Awaits ANJ Decision**<\/p>\n<p>The second matter is significant; <\/p>\n<p>As a French firm, France is likely one of Sorare&#8217;s largest markets. As a French firm, France is likely one of Sorare&#8217;s largest markets. According to its reply, existing account holders can decide to play with their NFT\/blockchain cards or with a free mode. This indicates that Sorare can continue to profit in a nation that could be a major source of income for them.<\/p>\n<p>This means that Sorare can continue to profit in a nation that could be a major source of income for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This most recent update is a free-to-play option for all French users,&#8221; Sorare explained. &#8220;This includes existing Sorare account holders and new users, as long as they are in France and have registered a phone number and shared appropriate documentation to confirm their residency in the nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This most recent update is a free-to-play option for all French users,&#8221; Sorare explained. &#8220;This includes existing Sorare account holders and new users, as long as they are in France and have registered a phone number and shared appropriate documentation to confirm their residency in the nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the group will have to wait and see if the ANJ is content with the new setup. The regulator told iGB that it has taken note of Sorare&#8217;s new measures, but &#8220;has not yet validated any operational solutions,&#8221; beyond the principle that the free-to-play option must offer the same chances of winning as the real-money products.<\/p>\n<p>However, the group will have to wait and see if the ANJ is content with the new setup.

While the group continues to operate in this grey area and hopes its compromise will work for the ANJ, given recent tech news, it may be that the idea of buying time has taken on a new meaning. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the French administration is crafting a strategy to establish guidelines for Sorare and other Web3 enterprises that operate platforms known as &#8220;games of interchangeable digital assets,&#8221; as per a recent report in Les Echos.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy will encompass companies like Sorare, Socios, or Binance, but it won&#8217;t place them under the same regulatory structure as conventional real-money gambling firms.<\/p>\n<p>Under the proposed rules, these businesses won&#8217;t require a permit from the ANJ. They will be exempt from the gambling gross revenue tax imposed on real-money operators, but they will be subject to a 20% value-added tax on the sale of digital products.<\/p>\n<p>There are disagreements regarding the regulation of the gambling sector.<\/p>\n<p>According to media accounts, French gambling groups have mixed views on these proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Lottery operator Fran\u00e7aise des Jeux desires Sorare and similar ventures to be treated as real-money operators for tax purposes. Land-based casino groups are primarily focused on online casino regulation (they submitted a draft law to the French Parliament last week). Sports betting firms are reportedly divided on these proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Tax officials have submitted their analysis to the French Ministry of Finance, which will assess it and propose a draft law, according to Les Echos.<\/p>\n<p>News of the new regulations isn&#8217;t unexpected. In recent years, France has been striving to become a leading hub for European technology and international startups. <\/p>\n<p>As a leading Web3 company, Sorare exemplifies this trend and appears to have the backing of the French government&#8217;s top officials.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 Constructing the technological giants of tomorrow.
