About Open Casino in Spain
Open Casino in Spain is a guide to launching a regulated online casino or sportsbook business in Spain — market entry, licensing costs, taxes, advertising rules, payments, and how six iGaming technology platforms compare.
What We Cover
- Spain's M&A-only market entry process and what it costs.
- DGOJ licensing requirements and the tax structure (gaming tax, Responsible Gaming Fund levy, corporate income tax).
- Advertising and marketing compliance, including the 2024 Supreme Court ruling and the pending legislative response.
- Payment methods used by DGOJ-licensed operators, including where cryptocurrency does and doesn't fit.
- A side-by-side comparison of six iGaming technology platforms on eight disclosed criteria.
Our Approach
Every fact on this site is drawn from public regulatory sources (DGOJ, Ley 13/2011), each platform's own published materials, and independent trade-press coverage, gathered and dated at time of publication. We do not conduct hands-on platform testing or mystery-shop customer support — where a fact isn't publicly available, we say so instead of estimating it.
Market conditions, tax rates, and advertising rules referenced on this site change; confirm current figures directly with the DGOJ or Spanish gaming counsel before acting on them.
