The General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ), which reports to the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and the 2030 Agenda, held the constituent meeting of the recently renewed Responsible Gambling Advisory Council.

This renewal follows the expiration of the previous council’s term last May. The meeting was chaired by the Director General of Gaming Regulation, Mikel Arana, in his capacity as president of the Council.

As in previous compositions, the Responsible Gaming Advisory Council incorporates professionals and representatives from the General State Administration and the Autonomous Communities, experts in the scientific, healthcare and academic fields who carry out activities related to gambling disorders, and finally, representatives of institutions, organisations and associations related to the gambling sector and gambling operators.

Presentation of the Safe Gaming Programme 2026-2030

In addition to the constitutive session of the new composition, the meeting focused on the presentation, by the General Directorate of Gaming, of the proposal for the Safe Gaming Programme 2026-2030, a strategic document that establishes the lines of work for the next four years.

This document reflects three priorities: analysis and diagnosis of the current situation, prevention and promotion of safe gaming and participant protection.

The programme also includes six general objectives and 22 specific measures, which aim to promote new lines of work in collaboration with the Advisory Council.

The new Council members will have three months to provide input on the draft programme proposal submitted, with the goal of reaching a consensus and approving a final document to guide public policy on safe gaming at the next Advisory Council meeting.

Honolulu Mayor Signs New Laws Targeting Illegal Game Rooms

Last Thursday, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi signed into law three bills — Bills 11, 12 and 13 — each of which are related to illegal gambling in the county.

The first, Bill 11, sets requirements on “electronic amusement devices” in public establishments. Operators of the establishment are now required to obtain a permit from the Honolulu Police Chief to use such a device on the premises, or else forfeit the device.

The Police Chief could deny a permit application if the proposed location of the device “would be reasonably likely to result in an increase in criminal activity, vandalism, litter, noise or traffic congestion,” according to the bill. The bill also requires anyone with a permit to allow a police officer to enter the premises and inspect the device and other records.

Meanwhile, Bill 12 allows the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting to deny permit applications for properties that have been cited for a gambling-related public nuisance within the previous two years.

And Bill 13 allows landlords to request a police escort while inspecting a private property for nuisance claims, with the accompanying officers authorized to document law violations or unsafe conditions, and to warn people not authorized to be there to leave.

In tandem, the three bills are meant to clamp down on illicit gambling rooms, which often become hotspots for associated complaints of criminal behavior.

The Swedish Gambling Authority has initiated supervision to ensure that the requirements for procedures and drawing protocols are followed.

The purpose of the supervision is to check how the licensees comply with the provisions of Sections 7–8 (routines) and Section 9 (drawing protocol) in SIFS 2024:1.

The Swedish Gambling Authority’s regulations and general advice on draws outside gaming systems, SIFS 2024:1, came into force on 1 June 2024. The regulations state the requirements for draws outside gaming systems. For example, draws must be carried out according to established draw procedures. Draws outside a gaming system may only be made if the requirements in Sections 5–11 of SIFS 2024:1 are met.

Actors involved in supervision:

• AB Svenska Spel

• Folk Games Nonprofit Association

• Motorists’ Sobriety Association
