Territorial scope of the gambling activity and applicable regulation
Specifying the territorial scope under which the gambling activity is to be carried out is fundamental in determining the regulations applicable to this activity, which may be national or regional.
?
The activity will be national when it is carried out within the entire territory of the State or when, being carried out within the territory of several autonomous regions, it is not possible to determine the part or proportion of said activity attributable to each autonomous region carrying it out (to see all of them, consult STC 35/2012). In these cases, the applicable legislation will be state legislation.
?
The activity will be regional when it is carried out within the territorial limits of a single autonomous region or, when going beyond the territorial limits of said region, it can be determined what part or proportion of the activity corresponds to each region in which such activity is carried out. In these cases, the applicable legislation will be that of the corresponding region or regions in each case.
