Amidst the legislative debate over the Gambling Bill in the National Congress, Ricardo Nadal Mart\u00ednez, president of the National Association of Sports Betting Shops, has raised his voice to demand stricter supervision to prevent minors from accessing gambling.<\/p>\n\n
Nadal stressed that current regulations impose rigorous requirements on sports betting establishments. As he explained, these establishments are required to operate in enclosed premises, equipped with air conditioning and dark glass that prevents visibility from the outside, in addition to displaying clear signage that strictly prohibits the entry of minors.<\/p>\n\n
The premises must be closed, air-conditioned, with dark windows so that you cannot see from the outside in, and with a sign stating that minors are not allowed.<\/p>Ricardo Nadal Mart\u00ednez, president of the National Association of Sports Betting<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Concern about the proliferation of virtual games<\/h2>\n\n
Despite these regulations, the leader denounced the existence of establishments operating under virtual modalities in public and open spaces, where minors are alarmingly exposed to betting activities. Nadal pointed out that this is a visible reality on Dominican streets, where adults and minors have been observed participating in gambling, even in the vicinity of educational centers and hospitals.<\/p>\n\n
The sector representative recalled that current laws require a minimum distance of 500 meters from educational and health institutions, a rule that, in his view, is being ignored by new operators.<\/p>\n\n
Proposals regarding the new legislation<\/h2>\n\n\n
- Ensure effective oversight that reaches all actors in the sector equitably.<\/li>
- Prevent the expansion of betting modalities from facilitating access to minors.<\/li>
- Strengthen legal controls as a fundamental pillar of the new Gambling Law currently under study in Congress.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n
Nadal concluded by emphasizing that the protection of youth must be a non-negotiable priority in the new regulatory framework, demanding that authorities ensure uniform compliance with the laws to prevent the betting industry from compromising social well-being.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
