Bettors in Spain are set to be restricted by new deposit limits that span all licensed operators in the country.
The law was introduced by royal decree, and has imposed a daily limit of €700 [$796], a weekly limit of €1,750 [$1989], and a four-week limit of €3,300 [$3751]. Previously, deposit limits of €600 daily, €1,500 weekly, €3,000 monthly were in place for individual operators.
On Tuesday 23 June, the government approved the new joint deposit framework, which prevents players from increasing their deposit allowance by opening accounts with different operators.
The Directorate-General for Gambling Regulation (DGOJ) will manage the single deposit control system, keeping track of players’ deposits right across the regulated sector to ensure they do not exceed the joint limit.
