the law regarding gambling including online poker has changed recently.
Sites are banning french players from playing online until the sites have obtained a special french licence to allow them to accept french players again.
This unfortunately means that people living on the french territory will only be able to play against each other from now on.This is bad news.. the rake will be higher (because of the governement share)and there will be very little traffic etc.. rakeback might become a thing of the past for french players
Will HEM work on these french sites?

Depends on how the tables will look - we have to wait for the first experiences (hands and screenshots) and see what we can do.

ok
but according to what I ve read it seems like it might be impossible to make any kind of profit at these tables because of the new rake.
