Due to the recent passage of a new French law all persons resident in France will no longer be allowed to access poker services and play for real money on any turnkey partner site which is part of the Cake Network. As of 4pm GMT, Friday April 9th, no French resident will be able to open a new real money account and any French resident who holds an existing account will not be allowed to play on Powerpoker.com.

All French players will have the ability to access their accounts to cash out any remaining account balance following implementation of the block.

Anyone know the rest of the story?

Not really. Seems a few years old.

Loto Québec is doing something similar... They plan to launch their own poker site only available to Québecois at first and add 5 other Canadian provinces later on.

I haven't seen any add for it yet, so I doubt it will happen this summer. I wonder if they will use an existing poker client and just skin it or create one from scratch (I am thinking HM/Poker Tracker support here...).

They did not say if they would make things impossible for us to play outside of the Loto Québec site...
