Spanish gambling reform proposals open for public feedback Via the DGOJ, Spain’s Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs, and Agenda 2030 has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to the country’s Gambling Regulation Act. These reforms are designed to strengthen oversight, mitigate problems, and fight illegal gambling—especially in the online space. Proposed adjustments include regulating celebrity appearances in gambling advertisements and refining advertising standards. The consultation period runs until June 22 and invites feedback on existing challenges and the goals of the reforms. Furthermore, the Ministry is rolling out an AI tool to detect problem gambling early and mandating that gambling ads include risk warnings. A new €950,620 grant scheme will fund research into gambling’s effects and prevention methods. Qualified organizations can apply for funding to carry out studies from January 2026 to June 2027 covering a range of gambling-related subjects. Minnesota becomes first U.S. state to ban prediction markets Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed legislation that makes platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket illegal, marking the state as the first in the U.S. to take this step. The law forbids the purchase and sale of contracts linked to future political, economic, or social events—with the exception of weather-related occurrences. This action has ignited a dispute with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which classifies prediction markets as financial products. The CFTC has filed a lawsuit to block the law, asserting that it weakens federal regulatory frameworks. Backers of the bill maintain that states should have authority over gambling regulation. Prediction market operators contend their offerings are financial tools, not gambling, even though there have been instances of insider trading. This debate has also led to legal conflicts in other states. U.S. Senators propose bill targeting online gambling advertisements U.S. Senators Katie Britt and Richard Blumenthal have put forward the Gaming Advertisement to Minors Enforcement (GAME) Act, which aims to stop online platforms from targeting minors with sports betting ads. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would enforce the legislation, with penalties for non-compliance and repeated violations—including fines of up to $100,000 per ad. Senator Britt pointed out the worrying increase in sports gambling among minors and how targeted ads could act as a gateway to addiction. Senator Blumenthal stressed the importance of protecting young people from the appeal of gambling, particularly on mobile devices, by instituting a nationwide ban on such advertising. The bill aims to shield the next generation from online risks and prevent the formation of harmful habits. Hungary’s new government plans to review national lottery and sports betting monopoly Hungary’s new government, headed by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, intends to evaluate Szerencsejáték Zrt’s exclusive control over the national lottery and sports betting. Established in 1991, this state-owned entity has been accused of redirecting revenues toward propaganda rather than transparently contributing to the state budget. The finance minister is focused on ensuring corruption-free management of public enterprises and plans to phase out sector-specific taxes introduced during the prior administration. Committees will examine the performance and political connections of state-owned companies following 16 years under Viktor Orbán’s leadership. While changes are possible, Szerencsejáték Zrt’s substantial revenue and tax contributions may hinder its full dissolution. Hungary’s gambling market—governed by Act XXXIV of 1991—has included online sports betting since 2023, overseen strictly by the Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs. The government’s review aligns with a more pro-European Union approach. Unregulated online gambling equals “world’s third-largest economy,” new report finds A report from Gaming Compliance International (GCI) shows that the unregulated online gambling market hit $5.9 trillion in 2025—an increase of 4% from the year before. Unregulated operators made up 78% of global online gross gaming revenue (GGR), making this market the world’s third-largest economy. The report introduces the term “White Noise Marketplace,” where consumers find it hard to tell apart regulated and unregulated gambling products. The study focused on online gambling targeting regulated markets, excluding sites that don’t process transactions. GCI used automated tracking and human analysis to measure betting volumes and GGR. The report noted the presence of unregulated gambling ads on illegal sports streaming platforms, as well as the impact of prediction markets and crypto-related gambling. GCI’s CEO stressed that regulators need to tackle the major challenge posed by unregulated online gambling. This article is provided by a third-party.

Kyiv court orders Premier Palace Casino’s liquidation amid creditors’ claims

(AsiaGameHub) -   The Kyiv City Commercial Court has formally ruled Premier Palace Casino bankrupt and initiated a 12-month liquidation process, determining the business was beyond the point of rehabilitation. Published last week, the court’s decision marked the conclusion of a two-year legal bankruptcy case that began in April 2024. Previous rulings from lower and appellate courts had upheld the validity of large creditor claims against the venue, whose total recognized debts exceed UAH380 million ($8.6 million). During a hearing on October 23, 2024, the court validated significant claims from both public authorities and private entities. These included the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries, the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv, and Hotel Premier Palace—an independently operated hotel attached to the casino. Liquidation must be completed within 12 months of the ruling date, with all proceedings overseen by Reveruk. Additionally, the company is required to cease all commercial activities immediately. Premier Palace Casino, located at a prestigious Kyiv address on Taras Shevchenko Boulevard/Yevhena Chykalenko Street, has long been a prominent player in Kyiv’s hospitality and leisure industry. Background and legal reasoning Premier Palace Casino filed for bankruptcy in April 2024. The Economic Court of Kyiv then formally opened bankruptcy proceedings on May 15, 2024, appointing a property administrator and temporarily halting all creditor enforcement actions. Liquidator Petr Kostyantynovich Reveruk will assume full control over the casino’s assets. He will also coordinate creditor participation and manage asset realization and debt settlements in accordance with Ukraine’s bankruptcy laws. Appeals filed by the casino contesting the recognition of major creditor claims were dismissed by both the Northern Appeal Economic Court and the Supreme Court’s Cassation Economic Chamber. At a creditors’ meeting on November 24, 2024, the majority voted to opt for liquidation rather than rehabilitation. During the April 22, 2026 hearing, the court found no feasible rehabilitation plan or amicable settlements had been proposed. It cited “persistent financial insolvency” based on assessments of the casino’s assets and liabilities. The sight from Kyiv Elsewhere in Ukraine, gambling regulator PlayCity recently launched a state-run program to monitor gambling transactions in the regulated market. The program aims to enhance regulatory oversight and tax compliance within the country’s licensed gambling sector, the regulator stated. Kyiv’s government has tightened enforcement over land-based gambling operations. A Kyiv city court has convicted three men for running an illegal gambling ring disguised as a legitimate business. The court imposed a fine of UAH799,000 ($18,191) on the alleged organizer and UAH765,000 on each accomplice. The state also confiscated more than $20,000 in assets.

Survey Reveals One-Third of Finns Back Payment Blocks to Curb Illegal Gambling

(AsiaGameHub) -   A poll of 1,000 residents in Finland indicates that preventing payments to unlicensed gambling websites is broadly seen as the most effective individual measure to tackle illegal gambling. The study, which was carried out by Bilendi in April 2026 on behalf of the affiliate site Turtlebet, gathered opinions from a nationally representative group of Finns aged 18 to 65 concerning the upcoming reform of the nation's gambling framework. Those surveyed were questioned about tactics to counter unlicensed operators and if gambling offers from abroad are luring players from the licensed domestic provider, Veikkaus. Finland is gearing up for a full transformation of its gambling sector. The nation is transitioning from its long-established monopoly model run by Veikkaus to a licensing system that will permit private operators to enter parts of the market. As part of the reforms, companies can start applying for licenses from 2026, leading up to the official launch of the regulated market on 1 July 2027. The survey also revealed varying levels of public knowledge about these changes. Key findings The nationwide survey, with a respondent pool balanced by gender, age, and region, discovered that 67% of participants knew that changes to gambling laws are approaching. Awareness was significantly greater among men (80%) than women (54%) and grew with age, reaching 71% for those aged 50-65. This compares to 63% of younger adults aged 18-34. Concerning why people might use unlicensed foreign gambling sites, just 30% of respondents agreed that more appealing bonuses and promotions play a role. This contrasted with 41% who disagreed and 29% who were unsure. Men (43%) were more prone to see bonuses as a significant factor than women (18%). Younger participants (18-34 years) expressed slightly stronger agreement (35%) than older demographics. When considering the most effective ways to deter the use of illegal gambling sites, blocking payments to these operators received the most support (32%). Improving the attractiveness of licensed domestic options was the next most favoured approach (26%). Technical solutions like internet protocol (IP) blocking garnered less backing (11%), while close to one-third (29%) of respondents were unsure of the optimal method. Views on publicly blacklisting illegal gambling sites were divided. A plurality (43%) felt a public blacklist would not stop people from using the sites, while 24% believed it would be effective, and the rest were undecided. Demographic variations Men demonstrated greater awareness of the reform and were more likely to point to bonuses on foreign sites as a reason for player choice. Women generally dismissed bonuses as a key motivator. Younger respondents showed the highest level of uncertainty on multiple questions and were slightly more hopeful about the possible impact of blacklisting illegal sites (29% in favour among 18-34 year olds, versus 23% overall). Participants from the greater Helsinki region made up approximately 30% of respondents, constituting a larger proportion of higher-income earners. Those with higher incomes were more inclined to think foreign bonuses affect consumer behavior. The illegal market across Europe The push to liberalise Finland's market has been partly motivated by worries that the monopoly system was failing to effectively steer Finnish consumers toward regulated options. “The goal of the legislation has been to identify a regulatory balance where measures to combat gambling-related harms are weighed against the desire of gambling companies to obtain a license and the need to direct online gambling toward a regulated offering,” stated Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen during the bill's initial parliamentary reading.

Auckland Operator Charged in Connection With Illegal Poker Venues

(AsiaGameHub) -   An Auckland man has been charged in connection with two alleged illegal poker venues operating in central Auckland, the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) confirmed on Wednesday. The defendant, who failed to appear at Auckland District Court, leading to an arrest warrant, faces eight charges under the Gambling Act. These charges pertain to the operation and promotion of unauthorized commercial gambling activities through corporate entities. The implicated companies have also been charged. Furthermore, the operator faces a separate charge of “theft by a person in a special relationship” under the Crimes Act, an offense carrying a maximum penalty of up to seven years imprisonment. Allegations and investigation The alleged offenses are reported to have occurred over a period of two years and three months. Authorities estimate that the illegal operations generated profits exceeding NZ$1 million, not including untraceable cash and cryptocurrency transactions. Vicki Scott, director of gambling at the DIA, voiced her concerns in a statement: “Operating illegal commercial poker venues in plain sight, adjacent to other popular hospitality businesses, poses a significant risk to the public. “Players are often unaware that they are participating in illegal gambling or that they have no recourse if issues arise. “We are concerned about an increase in gambling venues masquerading as legitimate businesses,” she added. “Illegal gambling can result in financial hardship, gambling addiction, as well as exposure to predatory behavior and criminal activity. It also erodes trust in legitimate operators and community fundraising efforts.” Increased regulation and industry scrutiny In other developments across New Zealand, the Online Casino Gambling Bill successfully passed its third reading in late April. The country is preparing to launch its regulated iGaming market in 2027, with licenses to be issued under stringent regulatory conditions. This reform aims to implement enhanced consumer protections, advertising controls, and harm-minimization standards, while also bolstering enforcement against unlicensed operators targeting New Zealand consumers. In March, Entain indicated its interest in three of the 15 available licenses. CEO Stella David stated during the company’s FY25 earnings call that, with its exclusive betting brand TAB in New Zealand, Entain is uniquely positioned as the only online operator capable of cross-selling between sports and iGaming. Similarities in Indonesia In Indonesia, authorities conducted a raid on a commercial building in West Jakarta to gather evidence of illegal gambling activities. This operation, initially reported by state news agency ANTARA, has led government officials to intensify surveillance of potential venues. “I have instructed the director general to increase surveillance at all locations that could potentially be used to host similar activities,” stated Immigration and Corrections Minister Agus Andrianto. Regulators have clearly communicated their zero-tolerance policy towards illegal physical gambling venues that present themselves as ordinary hospitality businesses. Further legal proceedings are anticipated once the individual is apprehended or otherwise brought before the court. The charged companies are likely to face parallel legal actions. Convictions under the country’s Gambling Act may result in fines and other penalties, while the theft charge carries the possibility of custodial sentencing.

Dutch councillor pushes for higher gambling age limit nationwide

(AsiaGameHub) -   The appeal put forward by CDA councillors goes beyond the prior government proposals. The Netherlands.—It has been more than a year since the former state secretary for legal protection Teun Struycken put forward a proposal to raise the minimum age for online slot machines in the Netherlands. Now that Claudia van Bruggen holds this position following the formation of a new coalition government in February, the future of the proposed gambling reforms remains uncertain. Nevertheless, a local councillor from the Christian Democratic Party (CDA) has revived the idea of adjusting the gambling age limit, and this push goes further than the earlier proposal. Whereas Struycken’s plan was to lift the legal age for online slot machines from 18 to 21, Meryam Sümer, who represents Enschede, is calling for the age to be raised to 24 for all gambling products. Sümer, who works in the welfare sector, noted that stricter restrictions on gambling advertising and buy‑now‑pay‑later (BNPL) schemes are also urgently needed amid rising debt among young people. Municipal data reveals that one in five young people in Enschede is currently carrying debt. In 2025 alone, the city recorded 12,145 cases of problematic debt, including 960 instances where residents faced the risk of eviction or losing access to essential utilities. Sümer has cited easy access to credit and online gambling as key contributing factors. Could the Netherlands increase its legal gambling age? Setting such a high minimum gambling age would position the Netherlands as an outlier across Europe. Neighboring Belgium raised the legal gambling age from 18 to 21 in 2024. Greece and Lithuania have also increased their age restrictions to 21. Malta still maintains a minimum age of 25 for domestic citizens entering land-based casinos, a rule also in place in Georgia. When Struycken first put forward the proposal to raise the age limit for online slots, the Dutch gambling regulator KSA criticized the plan, arguing that it could drive young people toward unlicensed operators. During the parliamentary debate that took place in March 2025, Struycken proposed a phased implementation strategy to prevent players from turning to the black market. Nevertheless, Christian Union leader Mirjam Bikker raised worries that setting different age limits for specific gambling products could lead to confusion, and instead advocated for a uniform minimum age of 21 across all types of gambling. Sümer is now encouraging her fellow councillors and political parties to push for legislative reform. As youth debt continues to climb and gambling advertisements still reach vulnerable age groups, she maintains that more robust national safeguards are necessary. When it comes to advertising, the Netherlands implemented a ban on all untargeted gambling advertisements in July 2023, and followed this up with a ban on sports sponsorships starting at the beginning of last year. Existing regulations already ban marketing targeted at individuals aged under 24. Nevertheless, a recent study conducted by the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Bristol discovered that 31 out of 277 advertisements on Meta platforms (11.2 percent) targeted users between the ages of 18 and 23. Land-based gambling operations were found to have lower compliance rates, and Meta’s default age settings were identified as a partial contributing factor. The study’s academics recommended that the Netherlands introduce regulations mandating the pre-approval of gambling advertisements. This article is provided by a third-party.

EU gambling levy proposal under further legislative consideration

(AsiaGameHub) -   A proposed EU-wide tax on gambling earnings is set to be discussed by the EU Budget Committee. Belgium.- Brussels legislators are increasingly giving serious thought to a proposed European Union gambling tax. Although its implementation is still a long way off, the EU Budget Committee is slated to discuss the proposal on May 27, with Budget Commissioner Piotr Serafin presiding over the session. Romanian MEP Victor Negrescu, who serves as vice president of the European Parliament and is also on the Budget Committee, put forward this proposal in February. He suggests imposing a 1 percent charge on gambling revenue generated by operators across all EU member states. This would be levied in addition to the existing national tax systems in each country. The Socialists and Democrats group within the EU has backed the initiative, contending that such a tax could raise between €2 billion and €4 billion annually for health, education, and youth initiatives. Over the EU's seven-year budget period, this could amount to as much as €28 billion. Proponents view this as complementary to efforts to secure funding for the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2028–2034, which is estimated to be a €2 trillion package. Conversely, the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA), representing licensed online gambling operators within the bloc, has deemed the proposal "unworkable" and criticised it. Secretary General Maaten Haijer stated: “Gambling is not presently harmonised across the EU, and consequently, there is no legal foundation to establish, manage, or collect such a tax. Beyond these legal impediments, imposing an additional levy on top of current national taxes – in an industry where licensed operators in certain Member States already face tax rates over 50 percent of gross gaming revenue – would ultimately benefit only one party: illegal operators.” He further commented: “Since they are exempt from taxes, illicit operators are already able to provide players with more appealing products and pricing, devoid of the consumer protections offered by licensed operators. Introducing an EU levy would exacerbate this issue, leading to an expansion of the black market, detrimental effects on consumer protection for EU citizens, and a decrease in overall tax revenues for Member States.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Spain launches public consultation on gambling law reforms

(AsiaGameHub) -   The DGOJ has launched a consultation on suggested revisions to Spain’s Gambling Regulation Act. Spain.- The Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030—via Spain’s gambling regulatory body, the DGOJ—has opened a public consultation on plans to revise the nation’s Gambling Regulation Act. The proposed reforms aim to tighten oversight, enhance prevention efforts, and equip authorities with additional resources to fight illegal gambling. The existing law has been in place for 15 years. Per the DGOJ, the suggested adjustments would enable the legislation to more effectively adapt to the digital landscape, particularly the rise of online gambling, while also broadening safeguards for users. The updates feature measures to regulate the involvement of celebrities or influencers in gambling ads—an issue the ministry previously tried to address through a royal decree. The revisions also cover customer acquisition campaigns and organic search engine ads, with the aim of ensuring that gambling operators’ promotional pages only show up when searches are directly related to betting. Running until June 22, the public consultation seeks to collect feedback on existing challenges, the reform’s goals, and possible measures. All members of the public, along with relevant organisations and stakeholders, are encouraged to participate. This reform is part of the Ministry’s wider initiative on gambling, which includes developing an AI algorithm to detect problem gambling early. This innovative tool—designed to prevent risky behaviour using real microdata—will be required for all gambling operators. The DGOJ projects it could boost detection rates by 10 percentage points. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs also stated that gambling ads must include risk warnings. These messages will follow the same format as the warnings on cigarette packs (which alert users to smoking risks) and will include statistics like the 75% chance that a gambler will lose money. New grants supporting gambling research In addition, the ministry has rolled out a new competitive grant scheme valued at €950,620 to back academic and institutional research on gambling. The DGOJ will oversee this initiative. Funds will be allocated to projects exploring prevention tactics, the social and health effects of gambling, and related risks. Applications are available to a diverse range of organisations, such as public and private universities, healthcare providers, non-profit organisations, and research centers. To be eligible, applicants need to show a proven history of gambling-related research. Projects must start no sooner than January 1 2026 and end by June 30 2027. Candidates for funding will need to fall within the designated focus areas: early detection of those exhibiting risky or severe gambling behaviour; individual, family, or societal harm linked to gambling, including mental health issues and financial difficulties; Development of tools, mechanisms or processes aimed at mitigating the adverse consequences of gambling; Connections between video games and gambling; the structural characteristics of gambling businesses; gender-related impacts on risky or severe gambling behaviour.
