Spain’s gambling regulator has fined 14 online operators a total of €77m [$85m] for offering services without a licence, in the latest crackdown on the unregulated market.
The General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) announced the penalties in an update on its enforcement actions. Fines ranged from €5m-€10m, with most operators receiving the lower end of the scale. One operator received the maximum fine for what the DGOJ described as “more severe violations”.
The sanctioned companies include: Adonio, Chestoption, FGS Software, Group Game, Investan, Lama Tech, Magicwin Games Tech, Mibs, Pennytech, Spicyjackpots, Techsolutions, Tinietech, Winbet, and Wot.
In addition to the financial penalties, the DGOJ has blocked all 14 operators from Spain’s iGaming market for a period of two years.
