Losses – $13 billion

Keeping things in Europe, we’re moving on a bit to the north, going up to France. Since the country is such a popular venue for gamblers, it’s no wonder that those betting their money in the local casinos managed to lose some $13 billion throughout 2014. That’s a really big number and it tells a lot about the attractiveness of the country’s gambling system. In order to gamble in France, you need to be at least 18, following the reduction of the minimum age back in 1987. Online gambling is also an option for those who want the comfort of their own homes while betting away their hard earned money.
