Spain orders stronger gambling-risk warnings on online sites and adverts
Spain’s Ministry for Consumer Affairs ordered online gambling operators to use more explicit risk warnings on gambling sites, adverts and social media marketing, the minister said. The required messages state that gambling addiction is a risk, that 75% of gamblers are likely to lose, and that total losses are four times winnings. JDigital criticised the measures, arguing that they unfairly compare online gambling with tobacco.
Operators must change warning messages across online gambling services and marketing in Spain.
