Overview
Online Gambling in Spain – A Regulatory Update
The online gambling industry waits with baited breath for the outcome of the Spanish gaming regulation to decipher whether it is in their interest to open subsidiaries in Spain or if they will be able to continue operating online from the countries in which they are licensed.
The process of regulating Spain's online gambling industry has been ongoing since 2007, when lawmakers first agreed that national laws were urgently required in order to effectively regulate the internet gaming market. Three years later, after an excruciating slow and painful process, it seems the Spanish government is finally on the cusp of legalising online gambling in Spain.
To ensure the gambling community is fully aware of how the proposed draft legislation translates into practice, leading regulatory events company, Awedacity, together with Spanish technology and communications law firm, ECIJA, are hosting the premier event that will provide the industry with a time-critical and comprehensive update on Spain's highly-coveted gambling market.
On Monday 18 April 2011, at the Madrid InterContinental Hotel, a number of distinguished representatives from government, along with leading minds from industry, will gather in Madrid to openly discuss the new licenses to be granted, the new publicity rules, the business feasibility in light of taxation regimes, and to explain in detail what early preparations are required to ensure market entry.
Online Gambling In Spain – A Regulatory Update, brings together leading industry experts to provide authoritative insight into:
- The likely national tax regime
- The licensing and legal requirements for operating in the Spanish market. Are they in synch with existing operations?
