Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Earlier this month, Spain’s Supreme Court partially overturned, on procedural grounds, several far-reaching advertising restrictions. This ruling was the result of a suit launched by the trade association Jdigital against Royal Decree 958/2020. One outcome of the verdict is that Spain’s advertising landscape is once again in flux, at least for now.

The Supreme Court’s ruling will be a major topic at our upcoming Gaming in Spain (GiS) Conference on May 6, 2024, in Madrid.

In addition to the aforementioned ruling, the Conference will devote particular attention to the following topics:

  • Cross-operator deposit limits in the Spanish market (expected from 2025)
  • Central problem gambling detection algorithms, administered and overseen by the national regulator
  • New products: how much regulatory room will there be for new (live) game products?

Agenda now available

The agenda for the 2024 Gaming in Spain Conference is now available here. We are very happy to announce a wide array of highly expert speakers including Spain’s leading gambling lawyer, Santiago Asensi, Jdigital Director General Jorge Hinojosa, MGA Games General Manager Jose Giacomelli, R Franco Digital and Operations Director Javier Sacristan Franco, EGBA Secretary General Maarten Haijer and many more.

Breakout sessions

In addition to the main program, the 2024 Gaming in Spain Conference will feature several compliance-related breakout sessions on e-money, compliance management, smart training solutions and KYC best practices.

If you are looking for information on specialized compliance topics and solutions, these breakout sessions are not to be missed.

Practical information

The 2024 GiS Conference will take place on May 6 at Castellana 81, located inside the BBVA tower, an iconic example of contemporary Spanish architecture in the heart of Madrid. The GiS Conference is scheduled one day prior to FIJMA24, Spain’s leading land-based gambling event.
