Portugal is regulated under Decree-Law 66/2015. Only entities listed by SRIJ may offer online gambling locally. The official register and six policy rules were rechecked on 24 October 2026 and lists 19 operator entries; its displayed update date remains 19 October 2026. Retabet and Vincino are both listed with their .pt domains without a forthcoming notice; Atlas has not independently verified their consumer availability in this review. Some product licences are temporarily suspended, so status must be checked by brand and product rather than inferred from an international licence. Individual operator records retain their own evidence dates.

SRIJ licensing FAQProduct-specific licences
Portugal issues separate licences for fixed-odds sports betting, mutual and fixed-odds horse betting, bingo and authorised games of chance. A licence from another country is not valid in Portugal, and an operator may offer only the categories and game types stated in its SRIJ licence.
SRIJ licence types and scopeLicence term and renewal
An online-gambling licence is valid for an initial three years and may be renewed for successive three-year periods. The renewal request must be filed 90 days before the current term ends.
SRIJ licensing FAQBonds and 2026 fees
Applicants must provide a €500,000 bond for legal obligations and player balances plus a €100,000 bond for IEJO tax. SRIJ publishes the homologation, issuance, renewal and additional-game fees, updated on 1 March 2026.
SRIJ bonds, fees and taxPermitted online games
The authorised framework includes fixed-odds sports betting, mutual and fixed-odds horse betting, bingo and listed games of chance such as blackjack, slots, poker variants, roulette, baccarat and crash. New game types require Commission approval and execution rules; adding a game to an existing licence also requires certification, homologation and a licence amendment.
SRIJ regulated gamesCentralised self-exclusion
A self-exclusion requested through the SRIJ platform applies across every online-gambling website licensed in Portugal. An exclusion requested only on an operator website applies only to that site.
