DGOJ sanctions 75 illegal operators €350m over four years
A press report said Spain’s DGOJ sanctioned 75 companies operating illegally in Spain, imposing a combined €350m in penalties over four years. It reported that none of the penalties had been paid and that the DGOJ had blocked 1,616 illegal-gambling websites; the Ministry of Consumer Affairs said blocking kept illegal gambling at about 4%.
The reported unpaid penalties and continuing website activity raise questions about enforcement against unlicensed operators in Spain.
