Starting this week, Spanish National Gaming Commission is issuing licenses as it tries to legitimize and tax online casinos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.granviaonline.com\/\">Nilda Cerna, who works for GranViaOnline<\/a> said: \u201cthe whole (e-gaming) sector is an innovator,\u201d says Cerna. \u201cThe changes come with the technology.\u201d This is pushed forward by advertising. One of the most visible marketing is certainly the e-gambling site \u201cBwin,\u201d which is on the front of each of the white Real Madrid jerseys. This is costing Bwin a whopping 45 million euros for three years. Of course, all around Europe and even in the Spanish champion South African World Cup, the football stadium rails are lined with online gambling ads. However, there still aren\u2019t many laws governing the online advertising of gambling.<\/p>\n<p>Smartplanet.com reported: \u201cOnline gambling in Spain has seen a boost from the recession. Cerna reckons it\u2019s because it\u2019s more economical to place a two euro bet on a virtual table, than a 5,300 euro one to compete in this weekend\u2019s poker tournament at Madrid\u2019s Casino de Torrelodones. Plus, she says, with nearly a quarter of the population unemployed, online gambling \u201cis rising for a natural reason because they have more time to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Spain\u2019s e-gaming up 60 percent in 2011, popularity is certainly growing. She says that the industry is witnessing slightly smaller deposits into their online accounts because everyone is waiting for the new law that comes fully into effect this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs always, the winners must pay (taxes,) but they don\u2019t always declare,\u201d Cerna says, \u201cbut now it\u2019s easier for the government to investigate.\u201d Smaller online \u201csalas\u201d or gambling rooms help to facilitate the monitoring of winnings. Cerna says, however, that big gamblers go to other countries, like the UK and Spain-adjacent Gilbrator, Portugal and Thailand,\u00a0to avoid taxation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlinecasinoreports.com\/news\/theheadlines\/2011\/12\/26\/spain-online-gambling-to-boom-in-next-5-years.php\">OnlineCasinoReports.com says<\/a> that Spanish online gambling is set to \u201cboom\u201d in the next five years. They believe that Spain\u2019s online gambling market could grow to around 680 million euros in the next three years. Spain had about 600,000 online gamblers last year, which was a 60-percent increase, and this industry generated about 370 million euros in profit. Clearly, taxing these amounts would be a huge revenue for the Spanish government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EUROVEGAS could soon be touching down in Europe, as e-gaming laws start to flourish.
