Spain’s DGOJ presents algorithm to detect online gambling risk
Spain’s DGOJ presented an algorithm designed to identify risk patterns in online gambling, using behavioural microdata from people medically diagnosed with gambling disorder. The Consumer Affairs ministry estimates that the tool could raise detection rates by up to 10 percentage points; its use by operators would require a further regulatory process.
If made mandatory, the algorithm would standardise a risk-detection tool used by online gambling operators in Spain.
