PMU launches Super Pick5 as France approves revised pari-mutuel rules

PMU has introduced a daily five-horse wager across its retail network and PMU Play, with France’s ANJ publishing the homologated rulebook on launch day.

French horse-racing operator PMU launched Super Pick5 on 5 November across its retail network and on PMU Play. The new pari-mutuel product asks customers to select five horses from a single race and predict their finishing order. It is scheduled once a day, generally between 17:00 and 19:00.

Approved rules and stake structure

The National Gambling Authority (ANJ) published the approved rulebook on launch day. The minimum stake is €2, with reduced 50% and 25% formats also provided. The rules establish three prize levels, including a Super Désordre outcome, and set out refunds when fewer than seven horses start or when a combination includes at least two non-runners. Undistributed amounts can move into a dedicated reserve and be carried forward as a jackpot called the Pactole.

Commercial objective

PMU is positioning Super Pick5 as a second daily betting appointment alongside Quinté+, aiming to increase stakes and attract new customers. The launch is a product initiative across retail and digital channels, not a change to France’s wider online-casino rules.
