In H1 2024 Spain’s ministry for consumer affairs dished out close to €65.4 million [$68.5 million] in fines for non-compliance with online gambling laws, it noted in an 18 November statement.
The ministry flagged 13 unlicensed online gambling operators for “very serious infringements” of Spain’s gambling laws. Interactive Pro, Stars Cream, Loveca Sino, Rougeca Sino, Mountberg, Alimanieri, Goldenpharaoh, Goldenlion, Golden Genie, Bigwins Games Tech, Games & More, Gladiator Holding and R.Bostock Enterprises were each ordered to pay a €5 million fine.
“These resolutions account for the majority of the [fines] claimed by the ministry and have also led to the disqualification of the operators for a period of two years,” the ministry said.
