About blocking and liability

Legislation:

Advertising regulation (Royal Decree 958/2020 and subsequent acts) severely restricts gambling marketing

Low/Medium

Low

High

Comment on the level of risk:

Spain has strengthened advertising controls and is blocking illegal operators; the DGOJ is conducting mass closures. For a foreign affiliate, the risk is mainly economic and reputational - large fines and traffic blocking. It is recommended not to target Spanish audiences without a license. The risk of extradition to the country is high - under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) extradition can be requested from any EU country.
