Spanish lottery retailers accuse SELAE of withholding online sales commissions
Spanish lottery retailers accused state operator SELAE of selling tickets online without linking purchases to physical outlets, leaving retailers without commissions on those sales. SELAE said customers can choose whether to associate a purchase with an outlet; retailer groups also oppose a planned central online sales platform managed by the company.
The dispute concerns whether online lottery sales generate commissions for retailers and how a planned central platform would operate.
