DGOJ announces mandatory online gambling risk-detection algorithm for Spain
Spain’s Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) announced an algorithm to identify online gambling risk, according to the ministry. The tool uses data from more than 500 people clinically diagnosed with gambling disorder; the DGOJ estimates standardised use could raise detection by 10 percentage points to 13%. Its use is intended to become mandatory for all gambling operators after the usual regulatory process.
Operators may need to adopt a standardised risk-detection tool if its proposed mandatory use proceeds.
