Galicia's addiction prevention plan proposes tougher gambling penalties and advertising rules to protect minors
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
Galicia's 2026-2030 Plan for the Prevention of Addictive Behaviours, led by the regional health department, sets out lines of action on gambling and betting, both in-person and online. These include regional rules on advertising, promotion and sponsorship, more inspections to stop minors entering gaming halls, bingos and casinos, and monitoring of illegal advertising aimed at them. It also proposes higher administrative and financial penalties for companies and platforms breaching gambling and minor-protection rules, though these are plan proposals rather than approved or active obligations.
Why it matters
The plan proposes advertising rules, more minor-access inspections and higher penalties, but these are not yet binding obligations.
