5. Draft Royal Decree laying down detailed rules for advertising gambling

6. Gambling and betting operated in the real world and using Information Society tools.

7. -

8. The draft lays down detailed rules for advertising gambling pursuant to Article 61(2) of the Act of 7 May 1999 on gambling, betting, gambling establishments and player protection. It contains definitions and lists the forms of advertising permitted by gambling license holders. It contains a series of principles applicable to all advertising authorised by the Royal Decree.

9. Gambling advertising is ubiquitous on television, radio, social media and the streets. Such advertising is not without danger to public health and society. Advertising normalises gambling in society. Through advertising, gambling is presented as socially and culturally acceptable behaviour and as a legitimate leisure activity. This is detrimental to more vulnerable groups such as minors, young people and gambling addicts. In the absence of a rule at European Union level, Member States are free to lay down the rules in this area. With a view to improving player protection, the purpose of this Decree is therefore to limit the forms of advertising permitted in the field of gambling and betting and to impose rules on the content of such advertising.

10. References to reference texts: Act of 7 May 1999 on gambling, betting, gambling establishments and player protection
Royal Decree of 25 October 2018 on the procedures for operating gambling and bets operated via Information Society tools.
