Lottery advertising rules to change in Spain

The Spanish regulator Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) plans to tighten advertising laws for lottery draws and companies promoting them. The idea here is to apply current advertising restrictions relevant to gambling operators to lotteries. DGOJ published a draft resolution on these reforms on its official website this week.

The proposed changes would mean that lottery companies would have to use national databases to verify their customers’ age. If customers are under the age limit, operators will need to inform them of this and deny them the sale of lottery tickets.

Another meaningful change concerns lottery websites, which will have to confirm their authenticity through a special seal. Besides that, partners that contribute to lottery marketing will also need to sell tickets as transparently as possible.
