EGBA’s Views on New Spanish Gambling RegulationsReading Time: 2 minutes

 

The new governing parties in Spain have indicated that they intend to introduce new regulations for gambling, including additional consumer protection measures, stricter restrictions for gambling advertising and a review of taxation for online gambling.

While it is too early to predict the specific measures that will be introduced, general policy commitments were outlined in a 50-page accord published on December 30 by the PSOE (Socialist) and Podemos (Left) parties who form the country’s new coalition government.

EGBA welcomes policy measures which genuinely strengthen consumer protection in Spain’s online gambling market but reiterates that such measures should be balanced, proportionate and designed in such a way that they support rather than undermine the regulated market.

“In the past, we have seen, in various jurisdictions, the introduction of well-meaning consumer protection measures which had an actual counterproductive effect because they pushed online players towards unregulated, off-shore websites which exposes them to dangerous practices and a lack of legal recourse when their consumer rights and protections are being trampled on,” EGBA said.

“The Spanish government should pay attention to this risk and ensure that new measures, which might be considered, are mindful of the need to ensure a high participation rate of players in the Spanish regulated market, rather than the offshore market. As far as we are aware, there is no research or studies that conclude that the volume of advertising for gambling impacts the risk of problem gambling. However, at the same time, EGBA obviously recognizes the need to ensure that advertising is responsible and helps protect vulnerable consumers and minors,” EGBA added.

“Gambling advertising does play an important role in informing consumers of which websites are regulated and licensed in Spain, and where they can play in a safe and regulated environment that takes into account their need to be protected. In most EU countries, advertising is also required to provide information about the risks of gambling and where and how consumers can obtain help if they need it,” EGBA added

“While we recognize that advertising can be seen to be excessive by regulators or public opinion, a certain level of advertising is required to ensure that consumers remain within the regulated online environment,” Maarten Haijer, Secretary-General of EGBA said.

Million Games is proud to announce the latest game launch of Million Blackjack London Deal, an authentic European-style blackjack experience designed for real players. This latest addition to the Million Blackjack series follows their first launch of Million Blackjack Peek, offering players an alternative way to enjoy the classic casino favourite.

Unlike its American-rules counterpart, Million Blackjack London Deal features a distinctive dealing style – cards are dealt one at a time, and the dealer takes only one card in the initial round. This subtle yet strategic difference brings a fresh challenge to blackjack enthusiasts, requiring sharper decision-making and an enhanced focus on game strategy.

Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games, commented on the significance of introducing both versions under their traditional names: “We wanted to give players the true blackjack experience. With Million Blackjack Peek and Million Blackjack London Deal, we’re providing real players with the versions they know and love, allowing them to engage with the game in its purest form.”

Million Games remains committed to delivering high-quality, player-focused experiences, and Million Blackjack London Deal is a testament to this dedication. Whether players prefer the American Peek version or the European London Deal format, Million Games ensures a seamless and engaging blackjack experience.

The upgraded offering will give operators access to increased in-play opportunities and new micro markets

Altenar has enhanced its sportsbook offering with an upgraded tennis vertical, now featuring official TDI data through a strategic integration with Sportradar.

The recent launch brings fast, live data from ATP and Challenger Tour events, increasing the number of in-play betting opportunities and introducing innovative micro markets. By leveraging Sportradar’s advanced AI and deep tennis data from TDI, Altenar can now process hundreds of thousands of data points from every match, offering a significant boost in betting options for users.

The introduction of micro markets allows users to bet on events with an immediate result, such as next serve, break points or the total number of shots in a point. This new feature is expected to enhance the user experience and drive further engagement, as micro markets have already proven to be successful in soccer and major US sports.

Altenar’s commitment to utilising premium data from official rights holders underlines its focus on delivering a superior sportsbook experience. The improvements aim to boost retention rates for operators, ultimately leading to greater revenue.

Antonis Karakousis, Director of Operations at Altenar, said: “This is a pivotal opportunity to achieve our growth ambitions. By integrating cutting-edge tennis data, we are providing unique betting options and the lowest possible latency across all our operators, driving innovation in the industry.”
