The full agenda is now available online and registration remains open.

Conference Focus on Regulatory Overhaul

Spain’s regulated iGaming sector confronts implementation of cross-operator deposit limits and a central DGOJ-mandated problem gambling detection algorithm. The current government has announced fundamental amendments to Spain’s Gambling Act.

Jdigital recently announced judicial proceedings against the government’s plans for cross-operator deposit limits. The trade association also signaled a refusal to cooperate with plans to overhaul the Gambling Act.

Election Outcome and Reform Timeline

PM Pedro Sanches called snap elections for November 29 after widespread protests over housing shortages and opposition refusal to support government measures on the housing crisis. The vote will determine whether the current government returns for another four-year term and gains more time to implement the announced gambling reforms, or whether Sanches overplayed his hand.

The conference arrives at this juncture of court cases, regulatory proposals, and political upheaval. Attendees will receive the latest information and analysis on these developments.
