Spanish advertising restrictions struck down

Earlier this month, Spain’s Supreme Court partially overturned, on procedural grounds, several far-reaching advertising restrictions.

This ruling was the result of a suit launched by the trade association Jdigital against Royal Decree 958/2020. One outcome of the verdict is that Spain’s advertising landscape is once again in flux – at least for now.

The Supreme Court’s ruling will be a major topic at the upcoming Gaming in Spain Conference on May 6, 2024, in Madrid.

In addition to the aforementioned ruling, the Conference will devote particular attention to the following topics:

  • Cross-operator deposit limits in the Spanish market (expected from 2025)
  • Central problem gambling detection algorithms, administered and overseen by the national regulator
  • New products: how much regulatory room will there be for new (live) game products?
