Cejuego asks Spain’s Consumer Ministry to investigate underage play claims against ONCE and SELAE
Cejuego said it had reported ONCE and Spain’s state lottery operator, SELAE, to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs over claims that minors and self-excluded people could gamble with them. Cejuego director general Alejandro Landaluce called for the ministry to make checks; the claims are allegations, not findings described in the report. The association also argued that public and private operators should face equivalent consumer-protection and advertising rules.
The allegations and request for checks put age-verification and self-exclusion controls at public operators under scrutiny.
