DGOJ updates gaming procedures
The regulatory body in Spain, DGOJ, updated its approval procedures for new gaming products.
Spain.- In order to simplify approval procedures and reduce administrative burdens for operators, the management process for changes has been rearranged in cases of approval of new games or changing the data processing of suppliers without licences. It involves those in which the Directorate General for Game Management (DGOJ) has previously approved the new game or the new CPD.
This way, the introduction of a new game on the gaming platform or a change in the CPD is not a substantial change as long as DGOJ has already approved it. Its inclusion in the operator platform only requires communication in the quarterly change report.
This is expected to significantly reduce the number of authorisations required while maintaining the levels of control and security of the games through the certification processes and the approval procedures for technical gaming systems.
DGOJ and responsible gaming
The Aragonese Association of Gambling Players in Rehabilitation has organised the IV Conference on Responsible Gambling. The gambling regulator from Spain, the DGOJ, was part of the event that took place on November 12 in Aragón.
According to the DGOJ, the conference started with a debate on proposals for greater protection against gambling. It featured the presence of different experts from the educational, academic and health areas. They developed the paper “Proposal for the improvement of access control to gaming venues: Facial recognition.”
Moreover, the specialists discussed different tools to prevent problem gambling and practice of responsible gaming. The Deputy Director General of Management and Institutional Relations of the DGOJ, Susana Campuzano, was part of the discussion.
Campuzano presented some of the latest measures developed or under development by the DGOJ. One of these initiatives includes a phishing alert service as well as different initiatives underway as the result of the Responsible Gaming Work Program.
Furthermore, the conference discussed the prevention, control and inspection of the Directorate General and Interior and Civil Protection, by the Aragon government and the national police.
