Protection of Minors



The prohibition of gambling for persons under 18 is a legal prohibition established in Law 13/2011 of May 27 on Gambling Regulation. To comply with this law, SELAE has implemented measures both for in-person and online sales.

SELAE games are intended for people over 18 years old.

Measures Implemented

SELAE informs about the prohibition of gambling for minors both in-person and online, and in all its advertising actions.

The measures implemented at in-person sales points are: placing a visible message indicating the prohibition of gambling for minors and the prohibition of selling to minors by agents of our commercial network.

The measures implemented on the online channel (loteriasyapuestas.es) are: displaying a visible icon indicating the prohibition of gambling for minors. The registration process for online play verifies the player’s age, and if under 18, registration (and therefore play) is not allowed. At SELAE, we ensure the accuracy of data provided by online participants through verification mechanisms required by Law 13/2011 of May 27 on gambling regulation. To prevent minors from accessing an adult’s account, we provide information to ensure password confidentiality and disable the option to automatically save passwords that could allow minors to access an account.

All SELAE advertising actions indicate the prohibition of gambling for minors.

Signs

Minors are more vulnerable to gambling because they have less impulse control and lower risk perception. Additionally, they often believe that their knowledge allows them to predict results and gain quick winnings.

We should be aware of the following signs that may indicate a minor has a gambling problem:

  • Decline in school performance.
  • Focusing more on competition results than on the sport itself.
  • Spending long hours playing online.
  • Constant irritability or anxiety with family.
  • Continuous spending of money.
  • Disappearance of money at home.

Information About Parental Control Mechanisms

If your computer can be used by minors, it is advisable to take precautions and install parental control tools on your devices.

Currently, many tools on the market allow you to manage control of your devices (PC, mobile, tablet) so minors cannot access certain content, by blocking Internet access, restricting certain websites, and monitoring access.

You can find these tools online depending on the device you have and want to control.
