Major Changes in Poker Regulation and Notable Events in the Poker World
The poker world is abuzz with significant regulatory changes and exciting developments. In Spain, the Real Decreto that regulates gambling advertising is set to be approved in two weeks. Mikel Arana, speaking on the radio autonómica vasca, highlighted that gambling addictions have not increased since the beginning of the year. He also mentioned that the regulation of video games will be reviewed after this new law.
In other regulatory news, the new law against tax fraud in Spain will impose fines of up to 100,000€ for the use of VPNs. This marks the first time that the use of IP masking systems will have a specific section in Spain's gaming regulations.
Meanwhile, poker has made a triumphant return to Atlantic City. The Borgata casino reopened 30 out of its 77 poker tables this week, marking a significant milestone after the COVID-19 hiatus. Additionally, data from Poker-Red reveals that 68% of Spanish online gamers use their mobile phones to play daily, offering insights into the future of online poker.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
