It highlighted the establishment of the Spanish Responsible Gambling Advisory which is described as an integrated effort between government and operators “to enable greater effectiveness in minimizing the damage that gambling can cause to society”.
The initiative launched by Secretary of State Social Services and Equality, Juan Manuel Moreno and State Secretary of Finance, Miguel Ferre, is aimed at ensuring uniform compliance of protection requirements for all gambling operators. “Responsible gaming is certainly a task for all, regulators and operators in the sector and the rest of society,” said Ferre.
Ferre revealed a registry of 1.01 million registered Spanish online players at the end of December 2012 who contributed 1.359 million euros in the last quarter of 2012, up 24 % from the previous quarter.
