Juan Carlos Alfonso's Resignation: A New Delay for Online Poker Licensing in Spain?

Juan Carlos Alfonso, a key figure in the regulatory process of Spain's online gambling law, resigned on April 11, 2012. Alfonso was the Subdirector of Ordenación del Juego and had been instrumental in the development of the online gambling law. His resignation comes after Enrique Alejo, the new Director of Ordenación del Juego, stated that there is no set date or even month for the granting of the first license. Alejo mentioned that the process is being examined thoroughly and that it takes time.

The resignation of Juan Carlos Alfonso is likely to cause further delays in the licensing process. Alfonso was the person who had all the contacts and the majority of the knowledge about the law. His resignation means that someone else will have to invest a significant amount of time to understand the law and the industry. This could lead to further delays in the licensing process.
