DGOJ discusses illegal online gambling and domain enforcement in Spain

Enforcement & compliance

Spain’s DGOJ took part in a meeting of the .es Domain Registry Commission to discuss unauthorised gambling and advertising, according to the authority. Its inspection deputy director described issues including domains redirecting users to illegal sites, identity impersonation on social media, influencer promotion and white-label brands; the DGOJ said it would continue coordinating with Red.es and other public bodies.

Coordination on illegal gambling domains and advertising may shape enforcement involving registrars and other public bodies.
