⚠️ Spain 🇪🇸: identity theft cases in online gambling are on the rise, with 8,675 reports in 2025

The Directorate General for Gambling Regulation (DGOJ) states that this figure represents a 12% increase compared to 2024.

🔹 The complaints relate to issues involving 15,871 gaming accounts, corresponding to 4% of taxpayers who received tax information linked to gambling activity.

🔹 Among those affected, women and individuals over 26 years old predominate, which differs from the typical profile of local online gambling users, who are mainly men aged 18 to 25.

🔹 The majority of fraud cases involving the misuse of personal data occurred in the sports betting segment, which accounted for 85% of all cases in 2025. The casino segment also recorded significant growth, rising from 7% in 2024 to 18% in 2025.

🔹 Notably, the increase in complaints coincided with the reintroduction of welcome bonuses, which had been banned until 2024.
