Jdigital, the Spanish online gambling trade association, has reported that its appeal against the country’s royal decree on gambling ads is to move forward. The Supreme Court has decided that the appeal should get a constitutional review.
In November, Spain’s Ministry of Consumer Affairs introduced restrictions limiting gambling advertising to between the hours of 1am and 5am. The igambling association Jdigital launched an appeal against the measure together with Spanish media body the Asociación de Medios de Información (AMI).
They claim that the royal decree should have received constitutional approval before it could be imposed.
Jdigital and AMI claim that such approval would not be forthcoming since the royal decree breaches article 53 of the Spanish Constitution, which guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms.
The two bodies also claim that the ban on gambling ads was a “disproportionate” and “ineffective” solution.
Spain’s gambling ad restrictions also prohibit gambling sponsorship in all sports, except for hookups with state-owned lottery operators.
