FEJAR

What FEJAR does

FEJAR (Federación Española de Jugadores de Azar Rehabilitados) is a Spanish nonprofit federation founded in 1991 and registered in the National Register of Associations of the Ministry of the Interior (F-1349). It functions as an umbrella organization for 38+ regional and provincial member associations across Spain that provide rehabilitation services to individuals with pathological gambling disorder (ludopatía). Its core services include online therapy, assistance with self-banning from gambling establishments, legal support, a women's section with gender-sensitive specialization, a DSM-5-based self-assessment test, and a free anonymous helpline (900 200 225). The federation also produces clinical publications such as intervention manuals for gambling and video game disorder comorbidity, suicide ideation protocols in non-substance addictions, and a women-specific clinical guide.

FEJAR's underlying technology includes an online therapy platform, a self-exclusion processing interface connecting to the Ministry of Finance's Registry of Prohibitions, and the CONNECT-FEJAR unified digital platform under development since April 2023 with EU NextGenerationEU funding to improve internal management and intervention effectiveness across member associations. The organization holds ISO 9001 quality certification, is GDPR-compliant, and undergoes annual independent financial audits. Distribution occurs primarily through its federated network of member associations, supplemented by the digital platform and the helpline.

Revenue is generated through four main streams: membership dues at €60 per month per federated entity, online therapy fees (with voucher renewals), government grants from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Rights, Government Delegation for the National Plan on Drugs, and Government Delegation against Gender Violence, plus EU NextGenerationEU project funding. The organization employs approximately 9 staff (Technical Director, Technical Secretary, Social Worker, 2 Psychologists, and Administration) supplemented by a Board of Directors, and serves individuals with gambling addiction, their families, healthcare professionals, and member associations as core customer segments.
