CRYPTO GAMBLING IN SPAIN

Regulated by Direccion General de Ordenacion del Juego (DGOJ)

Spain regulates online gambling through the DGOJ, which licenses operators for casino games, sports betting, and poker. The market is well-regulated with strict advertising restrictions introduced in 2021 — gambling ads are banned during daytime television and sporting events. Cryptocurrency acceptance among DGOJ-licensed operators is virtually non-existent due to regulatory conservatism around anonymous payment methods. Spanish players who want to gamble with crypto typically use offshore Curacao-licensed casinos. Gambling winnings above 1,600 euros are taxable income in Spain.
