Spain’s Supreme Court Overturns Advertising Restrictions, Impacting the Gaming Industry
The advertising landscape in Spain has once again been thrown into uncertainty after the Supreme Court partially overturned the advertising restrictions outlined in Royal Decree 958/2020. This decision came as a result of a legal challenge by the trade association Jdigital, and it has significant implications for the gaming industry in the country.
At the upcoming Gaming in Spain (GiS) Conference on May 6, 2024, in Madrid, the Supreme Court’s ruling will be a key topic of discussion. Industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders will come together to explore the implications and potential consequences of this decision.
In addition to the advertising restrictions, the conference will also focus on several other important topics that are shaping the future of the Spanish gaming market. These topics include the introduction of cross-operator deposit limits, the implementation of central problem gambling detection algorithms overseen by the national regulator, and the regulatory opportunities for new (live) game products.
The conference agenda is now available, featuring a lineup of esteemed speakers who will share their expertise and insights. Among the speakers are Spain’s leading gambling lawyer, Santiago Asensi, Jdigital Director General Jorge Hinojosa, MGA Games General Manager Jose Giacomelli, R Franco Digital and Operations Director Javier Sacristan Franco, and EGBA Secretary General Maarten Haijer, among many others.
In addition to the main program, the 2024 Gaming in Spain Conference will host several breakout sessions focusing on specialized compliance areas. These breakout sessions will cover topics such as e-money, compliance management, smart training solutions, and KYC best practices. These sessions provide a unique opportunity for attendees to delve into specific compliance issues and discover effective solutions.
The conference will take place at Castellana 81, situated within the iconic BBVA tower in the heart of Madrid. This modern architectural masterpiece serves as the ideal venue for the event. Furthermore, the GiS Conference is scheduled to take place one day prior to FIJMA24, Spain’s leading land-based gambling event, allowing attendees to make the most of their visit by combining both events.
Registration for the 2024 Gaming in Spain Conference is now open, and interested individuals are encouraged to register early to secure their spot. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from industry leaders, engage in meaningful discussions, and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the Spanish gaming industry.
