Codere executive calls for tailored rules on esports and virtual betting in Spain

Codere public-affairs head Ana Parra Sevilla called for regulatory clarity on esports, virtual betting and payment methods at a gaming congress in Soria, Spain. She argued that esports involving real competitors should be assessed separately from computer-simulated virtual betting, and said the framework should protect consumers and competition integrity. She also cited a need for further rulemaking in the Basque Country to enable virtual betting.
