Domains Blocked by French Government

[Jeepers Creepers]

Hi guys,

Does anybody know how to check if your website is being blocked/shadowbanned by France.

I recently see a lot of online casinos changing domains constantly and redirecting to a new domain thats not blocked.

How can i check this on my own websites?

Try VPN, ping-admin, or finally compare GSC clicks (whole traffic) to website traffic in GA (those who accessed the website). The last method will make you 2 days delay (GSC data), but it is the most accurate.

The French government regularly updates its blacklist of gambling websites that are blocked or banned. To check if your site is on the list, you can visit the official ANJ (Autorité Nationale des Jeux) website.

Navigate to the section titled 'Liste noire des sites de jeux d'argent et de hasard interdits en France' on their site. You'll find a link labeled 'Accéder à la liste noire'. Clicking this will download the latest list of blocked sites, which includes the site name, domain, and the date of the decision.

Compare your domain with the entries to determine its status.

Hi guys, you can check if your site is blocked in France by using a VPN with a French IP to see if it loads, analyzing discrepancies between Google Search Console clicks and Google Analytics traffic, testing accessibility with tools like Ping-admin or IsItDownRightNow, and consulting the ANJ website, where the official blacklist of gambling sites restricted in France is regularly updated under the section "Liste noire des sites de jeux d'argent et de hasard interdits en France".

Cheers.
