Spain’s DGOJ conducts civic awareness campaign

In collaboration with the Spanish federal police force and the central citizen unit, Spanish gambling regulatory authority, DGOJ, has started a new civic awareness campaign aimed at warning the industry stakeholders about the dangers posed by underage gambling and potential sports corruption.

The campaign was titled as “Con el Deporte no se juega” and it warns Spanish leisure and commercial premises of carrying appropriate and thorough underage checks and further duties.

DGOJ, alongside the Spanish police force, has published new information manuals for amateur (semi-pro) sports clubs which sets out to inform stakeholders all about monitoring potential sports corruption and maintaining athlete integrity.

The DGOJ and Police manuals will be distributed by the Central Citizen Unit to all concerned organisations operating across Spain’s seventeen autonomous communities.

The DGOJ details that the campaign marks a new directive for the authority collaborating with national organisations for the “common good of limiting gambling harm and maintain the integrity of all sports.”
