Spain’s national self-exclusion scheme for online gambling saw a 12% increase in registrations during 2020 to 56,329.
Some 56,329 people have now registered with Registro General de Interdicciones de Acceso al Juego (RGIAJ), which was set up by the country’s gambling regulator Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) in 2015. That figure is up by 12.02% – 6,042 registrations – compared to last year.
Andalusia, which is Spain’s most populous region, accounts for 24.5% of self-exclusions, growing by 7.1% new registrations in 2020 to 13,811. The area around capital city Madrid was second at 17.0%, growing by 13.1% to 9,591.
