The Junta de Castilla y León has placed gambling and betting administration under its Directorate for Institutional Relations and External Action through an order published on 11 November. The order updates the structure of the presidency department.
The administration retains three specialist services covering authorisations, registers and equipment, and inspection and sanctions. The authorisations service handles establishment and activity permits, changes, renewals and the annual gambling report. The registers and equipment service oversees administrative registers and technical systems, approves machines and materials, and manages the games catalogue. The inspection service handles inspection plans, monitoring of illegal gambling and sanctions proceedings.
The order replaces PRE/584/2022 while retaining the services and their essential responsibilities. The change mainly concerns the services' place in the administration and introduces no new obligations for operators.
The reorganisation comes as a reform of the gambling law is being processed, with the deadline for amendments extended to 13 November.
