Spain’s Council of Ministers has approved more than 30 new youth-orientated responsible gaming measures.

[Tuesday] Spain’s main executive body…approved the Royal Decree for the development of safer gaming environments, a proposal from the country’s Council of Ministers to bulwark safer gambling protections.

The new measures are the latest regulatory push from the Ministry, following the previous 2020 Royal Decree of Commercial Communications, which significantly tightened up the country’s gambling advertising laws.

“The purpose of this new regulation is to minimise risky or intensive gambling behaviours that can lead, in the most extreme cases, to problematic or pathological behaviours,” said the ministry in a statement, explaining the rationale for the new measures.
