Spain’s addiction committee backs gambling harm and self-exclusion measures
Spain’s Joint Committee for the Study of Addiction Problems approved proposals on 10 February to strengthen online gambling harm prevention and improve voluntary self-exclusion. One proposal calls for awareness spending to match or exceed spending on gambling promotion; another asks the government to set a one-year minimum self-exclusion period.
The proposals could affect gambling prevention campaigns and the minimum duration of voluntary self-exclusion in Spain.
