A series of far-reaching advertising restrictions that were initially overturned by Spain’s Supreme Court last year appear close to being reintroduced as part of a new public health law. The introduction of these restrictions s expected to have a significant impact on Spain’s regulated market.
Other regulatory measures that have been recently introduced or that are currently in preparation include a single spending limit across all games, as well as (future) cross-operator deposit limits and the introduction of a single regulator-approved problem gambling detection algorithm.
To discuss these and other topics, we have currently confirmed the following speakers: Jorge Hinojosa, Director General, JDigital; Xavi Muñoz, Partner, ECIJA; Camille Gonzálvez, Gambling Lawyer, ECIJA; and Josh Hodgson, COO, H2 Gambling Capital.

Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Spain commented: “Although Spain remains, of course, the focus of our event, I am very glad that we are also looking a bit farther this year. For Spain-facing operators, LatAm is an exciting region to consider for expansion. Happily, we have speakers who are fully updated on local regulations and market conditions.”
