PRELIMINARY DRAFT LAW REGULATING GAMBLING IN GALICIA

The current gambling law is not sufficiently robust and is difficult to interpret because, due to its age, it does not reflect the current situation. This new text therefore aims to update the content of the current 1985 law and to make it more specific. The aim is to mitigate the dangers and risks caused by excessive or irresponsible gambling by establishing greater government control.

This will be done by introducing greater controls on access to gambling premises, planning the gambling market by adapting supply to actual demand, updating the rules in relation to the requirements of market unity, adjusting the necessary procedures and documentation to new technologies and electronic processing, and providing greater legal certainty for gambling operators by establishing transparent and uniform rules.
