Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Spanish lotteries ONCE and SELAE will be reviewed by the DGOJ – Spain’s directorate for gambling – in relation to how lottery games are marketed and sold to the public.

Spanish gambling and media stakeholders have been informed of the DGOJ’s consultation, which seeks feedback on the “commercial marketing of lottery games” allowed across Spain’s autonomous provinces.

The consultation will be open to responses until March 31, with the directorate highlighting that it required necessary feedback from Spanish media and public vendors of ONCE and SELAE games.

As stewards of Spain’s national lotteries, ONCE – the lottery for the disabled – and SELAE, the lottery for Spanish societies/charities, are allowed to authorise the sale of tickets and games via “public vendors” be it cafes, restaurants, tobacconists, retail shops, etc.

However, the DGOJ has highlighted that in recent years the Spanish public has witnessed an increase in the number of websites and online applications selling ONCE and SELAE games as authorised vendors.

Concerns have been raised on whether online vendors offer appropriate customer protection and guarantees on tickets sold to the public for ONCE and SELAE draws.

Spanish lotteries differ from other European nations, as customers purchase tickets with pre-printed numbers, participating in ballots to win a % share of a community jackpot – rather than the single draw format, which rewards an individual winner.

The unique format ensures that Spain maintains Europe’s most popular national lotteries, featuring the Christmas “El Gordo” and “El Nino” draws, which have distributed over €2.5bn in prizes to customers.

The DGOJ underlined the importance of its consultation to ensure that Spanish lotteries are free from corruption and to protect Spanish consumers from fraud.

A new grassroots digital community initiative, the AyeGaming Group, has been launched on LinkedIn with a clear purpose: to bring people across land-based and online gambling together in an honest, inclusive, and supportive space.

Founded in Scotland by respected industry figures, the AyeGaming Group is already drawing interest from across the iGaming world for its warm approach and people-first mission. The group welcomes professionals from all backgrounds, including operators, suppliers, affiliates, consultants, and creatives, all who believe in shaping a better future for the industry by putting the community at its heart.

The initiative is the brainchild of three passionate advocates for the gambling industry, including co-founders Jennifer Innes, CEO of BettingJobs, and Elaine Gardiner, Managing Director of TAG Media. Together, they’ve created a space where kindred spirits can connect for business and belonging.

“I wanted to be part of driving something locally within the iGaming industry. There truly are so many wonderful people in the sector who either live in Scotland or have relocated to one of the many other global iGaming hubs. Creating a dedicated time and space for us to connect in the form of the AyeGaming meet-up feels important – this is a big, global industry, but it can seem far less imposing when we all come together. It also gives us a chance to reflect on and recognise the impact our Scottish voices have across the iGaming industry as a whole.” said Jennifer Innes.

Elaine Gardiner added: “Jennifer and I have known each other for over 17 years, just as long as I’ve been in the industry. Back in January, we bumped into each other on a flight from Scotland to Barcelona, heading to ICE with a few other industry folks. That’s when we knew it was time to set the wheels in motion for a Scottish gaming meet-up. I’m excited it’s finally coming together and looking forward to meeting more people from across the industry.”

Built on a foundation of Scottish values of fairness, humour and humility, the AyeGaming Group offers something refreshingly human in an industry dominated by deal-making and fast growth.

The group’s first in-person event, the Wee AyeGaming Meet-Up, will occur on Thursday, June 19, at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. The event promises informal networking, shared stories, and genuine connection in a setting rich with Scottish tradition.

Attendees can expect:

  • Informal but meaningful conversations
  • Insights from industry leaders across land-based and iGaming
  • A warm, inclusive atmosphere to meet kindred spirits
  • And, of course, a wee dram and the sound of the pipes

The AyeGaming Group is open to anyone who shares its values, whether based in Glasgow, Gibraltar, Buenos Aires, or elsewhere.

The Rajasthan Youth Board (Youth Affairs & Sports Department, Government of Rajasthan), in collaboration with AA Gaming, has officially announced the Rajasthan State Esports Championship (RSEC) – a landmark state-level initiative poised to engage thousands of players from across the state.
The RSEC 2025 will feature top esports titles including Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), CS2, E-Cricket, and E-Football. Spanning over four stages, the championship aims to reach more than 200 colleges across 41 districts in Rajasthan, making it one of the most comprehensive esports tournaments at the state level in India.
The tournament will unfold in the following stages:
  • Open Qualifiers
  • Inter-College Knockout Rounds
  • Semifinals
  • Grand Finals – which will be live-streamed and culminate in a prestigious awards ceremony.
A core highlight of the RSEC 2025 will be a series of esports workshops, organized by AA Gaming during the inter-college knockout rounds held across Rajasthan. These workshops, in
collaboration with industry experts, are designed to educate and empower participants with essential knowledge and skills, positioning Rajasthan’s youth at the forefront of the rapidly growing esports industry.
Recognized now on global platforms like the Olympic Esports Series, the Asian Games, and the Commonwealth Esports Championship, esports has become a legitimate sporting and medal discipline. With this in mind, the RSEC workshops will cover:
  • Gaming techniques and strategic play
  • Game development fundamentals
  • Esports career pathways
  • Mental health and well-being for athletes
  • Team-building and communication
  • Professional conduct in esports
  • In-depth game analysis and review
Speaking about the RSEC, Dr. Neeraj Kumar Pawan (I.A.S) Chairman, Rajasthan Youth Board & Secretary, Youth Affairs & Sports Department, Government Of Rajasthan, said, “I extend my heartfelt best wishes for the upcoming Rajasthan State Esports Championship. As Rajasthan does not yet have an official esports federation, the Youth Affairs & Sports Department of Rajasthan has taken the initiative to support the esports ecosystem by joining hands with passionate youth, many of whom have come forward through the Youth Board. This championship marks a significant first step in promoting esports across the state, and I wholeheartedly commend the young leaders driving this movement.”
Commenting on the tournament, Akash Dhangar, Founder and CEO of AA Gaming, said:
“We are thrilled to partner with the Rajasthan Youth Board for the Rajasthan State Esports Championship — a one-of-a-kind initiative that not only empowers the youth through competitive esports, but also equips them with the knowledge and skills to thrive in this fast-growing industry. Through our comprehensive workshops, we aim to provide in-depth education on the key pillars of the esports ecosystem, enabling Rajasthan’s youth to emerge as innovators and leaders in the gaming and esports space.”
These sessions aim to develop well-rounded esports professionals — from players aiming for international glory to those exploring careers in game development, casting, management, and more.
The Rajasthan State Esports Championship is a pioneering initiative by the Government of Rajasthan to integrate esports into the mainstream sporting ecosystem and harness the power of gaming to inspire, educate, and uplift the state’s youth.
With RSEC 2025, Rajasthan is set to lead by example, creating a blueprint for how regional governments can support and grow the esports ecosystem from the grassroots.
