European Commission consults on Digital Fairness Act proposals affecting online gambling
The European Commission opened a public consultation on its proposed Digital Fairness Act, which is due to run until 24 October 2025, according to law firm LOYRA. The preliminary proposals address addictive design, dark patterns, targeted advertising to vulnerable consumers, influencer marketing and digital service contract terms; the Commission has not adopted the measures as law.
Online gambling operators may need to assess potential consumer-protection and marketing requirements if the proposals advance.
