Looking back at the 2023 Gaming in Spain Conference
We were exceedingly happy to welcome key decision makers in Spain’s regulated iGaming industry in Madrid for a full day of knowledge & networking.
A highlight of the day was the keynote speech by Mr. Mikel Arana, Director General of Spain’s national gambling regulator, DGOJ, who not only stressed the need for clear communication between industry and regulator, but also explained the regulator’s new approach to responsible gaming:
“It is very important for the DGOJ to maintain contact with Spanish operators and – even if we do not always agree – to explain first-hand why we make the regulatory decisions we make and what goals we want to achieve with them. […]
Above all, we have established a new approach to player protection. First, by not treating all players the same. Second, by not letting player protection depend on the criteria of individual operators’ social responsibility policies, but by establishing a common minimum standard.”
Mr. Arana’s full presentation was recorded and is available here: https://bit.ly/GiS2023_Arana
