The President of the Board is appointed by decree of the President of the Republic. Their mandate may not be revoked or renewed. The Board is composed of nine members appointed for a six-year term. The ANJ reports to Parliament: it presents an annual activity report and its President may be heard by the competent committee of each of the two assemblies. With Article 137 of the Pacte Act on the privatisation of La Française des Jeux and the Order of Octoreforming the gambling regulation, the legislator broadened the scope of intervention of the new Gambling Authority (ANJ) by giving it the status of an independent administrative authority. This status was necessary to prevent a double conflict of interest: on the one hand, the State is a shareholder of one of the operators, La Française des Jeux, and on the other, it must arbitrate between tax and public health issues. In 2010, the legislator gave the Regulatory Authority for Online Games (ARJEL) the status of an independent administrative authority.

The ANJ works in close cooperation with its European and international counterparts.

The ANJ's services are made up of 53 people and the authority has a budget of 8 million euros (January 1, 2020).

The ANJ ensures that operators authorised to operate on the French market respect their obligations.

The ANJ hunts down fraudsters: it fights against illegal websites, money laundering and participates, to the extent of its competence, in the fight against sports manipulation.
