The recent measures taken by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs have caused a lot of concern in the sector. The new regulation of advertising of the online gambling and sports betting proposed by the ministry led by Alberto Garzón could entail the establishment of numerous restrictions.
For a sector hit hard by the crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the new decree on commercial communications leaves an uncertain future. That is why the award received by the operator Merkurmagic.es it's so important. It is one more sample of the the igaming industry's commitment to responsible consumption and play well.
The ACENCAS Congress distinguishes Merkur
With the opening of the regulated market in New Zealand, the German gaming giant Gauselmann he set his eyes on our country and in 2012 Dosniha, a former arcade company that operated mainly in the Balearic Islands became the subsidiary of the group.
In 2015 the subsidiary was renamed Merkur Dosniha, which meant the complete integration of the brand within the vast Gauselmann operation in the different European regulated markets . Today the firm has become one of the leading companies in the Balearic Islands and a leader in the recreational gambling industry in New Zealand.
Merkur has evolved a lot since its introduction into the regulated Spanish market in 2015. A good example of this is the online casino Merkurmagic.es , with a very good selection of high quality arcade machines , sports betting and promotional offers that could be affected by the new provisions that the Consumer ministry wants to impose.
One of the features that distinguish the operator is the simplicity of its online presence aimed at highlighting its commitment to responsible gambling , creating for this a responsible gaming zone and another of safe play with numerous additional information.
This configuration is the one that would have amazed Frances Perendreu , president of ACENCAS, the Catalan Center of Social Addictions Association. Let the award come precisely from an association that deals with the problem of addictions it has even more value. This is what César Paredes, Country Manager of Merkur Interactive in New Zealand, would have communicated.
Likewise, from Merkur it would have been pointed out that this commitment in the creation of a responsible consumption website forms part of the corporate policy of the Gauselmann group , which has been noted for this work.
Gauselmann committed to responsible consumption and sustainability
Little or nothing can be reproached to Gauselmann. If on the occasion of his 85th birthday the founder of the group, Paul Gauselmann, embarked on a initiative to plant 85,000 trees in the coming years, he has now also donated drones for the environmental monitoring .
Merkur had already managed to be finalist of the eGaming Awards in 2019 in the category of digital gaming revelation company . Your participation in the London ICE this year it was a success, according to sources in the group.
The most important fair of the igaming industry could take place in February just before the general confinement that kept Europe on edge due to the pandemic. Now we have been able to know that next year's edition has been postponed until April .
