Spain's consumer and gambling secretary-general backs warning messages and advertising restrictions
Andrés Barragán, Spain's secretary-general for Consumer Affairs and Gambling, defended warning messages on online gambling portals and called for a ban on welcome bonuses and restrictions on celebrities in advertising, according to the report. He cited a 75% probability of players losing money and said the average loss among the 1% of players who lose the most was €27,000 a year.
The proposals could affect online operators' portal warnings, welcome-bonus offers and use of celebrities in advertising.
