By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
At the first CeJuego Forum 2026, the Spanish operators' association CeJuego argued that public debate on gambling should rest on official data rather than preconceptions. It cited the Ministry of Health's 2025 report on behavioural addictions, which put possible problem gambling prevalence at 2% of the population in 2018 and 1% in 2024. The same report shows possible gambling disorder falling from 0.5% to 0.4% over that period.
