Spanish Government Advances Draft Law to Regulate Online Sports Betting Advertising
On March 24, 2026, the Spanish Council of Ministers approved a draft law aimed at regulating the advertising of online sports betting and gambling. This legislative move intends to impose tighter restrictions on marketing practices to protect minors and promote responsible gambling. The draft law outlines prohibitions on promotions and bonuses during times when young audiences are likely to be exposed and bans advertisements in certain sensitive environments. These measures form part of broader government efforts to mitigate the risks associated with gambling advertisement, particularly among vulnerable populations. Online sports betting operators active in Spain will be required to comply with the new advertising guidelines once the law is finalized and enacted. This regulatory development seeks to ensure a more responsible advertising environment within the Spanish online betting market.
Bulgaria Approves Draft Amendments Expanding Gaming Licensing to Include eSports and Fantasy Sports
The Bulgarian Council of Ministers has approved draft amendments to the Gaming Act designed to broaden the regulatory scope of the State Commission on Gambling. The changes aim to incorporate emerging forms of gambling and gaming activities that have grown in popularity and technological complexity. Specifically, the legislation intends to bring eSports competitions, fantasy sports, games of skill played online for prizes, and contests that require players to stake money under regulatory oversight and licensing requirements. This move reflects the government’s response to evolving digital gaming markets and concerns around proper regulation and player protection. The draft amendment was adopted as a result of a governmental decision on November 14, 2023. By expanding the list of activities subject to the licensing regime, the State Commission on Gambling will be able to supervise these new forms of gaming within Bulgaria’s jurisdiction, signaling a closer alignment with global trends in gaming regulation.
Bulgarian Government Approves Draft Bill to Tighten Gambling Advertising Rules

This move comes amid growing concern over the social impact of gambling and aims to bolster responsible gambling policies. The bill is part of broader efforts by Bulgarian regulators to oversee the gambling sector more closely, including the online gambling market, to ensure increased protection for consumers and curb potentially harmful marketing practices.
