## Full section analysis

App-store distribution is available for DGOJ-licensed operators. Ad-platform restrictions are shaped by RD 958/2020 (as partially annulled): social and search advertising to over-18s is now permitted following the 2024 Supreme Court ruling, but sponsorship and the broadcast time-window persist. Affiliates do not require a licence of their own and may only promote licensed operators, but they remain directly exposed to enforcement under RD 958/2020 in their own right rather than only through the operators they promote. Counsel confirms both limbs: no affiliate licence, and direct enforcement exposure.
