Valencian parliament extends moratorium on new gambling authorisations

Regulation

Valencian lawmakers ratified a decree extending by up to one year the pause on new authorisations for gambling venues, amusement arcades and type B machines in hospitality premises. The published measure took effect and remains in place until a new regional gambling regulation enters into force, or at most until June 2026. The decree cites delays to technical and regulatory work following the 29 October 2024 DANA storm.
