Spain DGOJ licensed operators: verify company, domain and game

The Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego publishes an official finder searchable by company name or website. Results connect each licensed entity to the consumer domains reported for Spain.

The finder showed 77 operator records when checked. That is a dated entity count, not a count of brands or game licences, because one operator can use several domains and hold several permissions.

Start with the hostname used by the player. Spanish licensees must operate a specific website under .es and redirect relevant Spanish users from group domains controlled outside that namespace.

An international .com page is not the final evidence for the Spanish service. Match the exact .es website published by the DGOJ.

Capture the licensed company name exactly. The brand may differ from the entity, and one company can publish several approved domains for casino, poker, sportsbook or combined services.

Do not attach a group company’s licence to another subsidiary without a DGOJ connection. Company identity is required to make the finding reproducible.

Spain uses general licences for broad categories such as betting, contests and other games. A general licence alone is not enough to offer every product in that category.

The operator also needs the singular licence for the regulated game it intends to offer. These can cover sports fixed-odds betting, roulette, blackjack, slots or poker, depending on the published authorisation.

The DGOJ publishes resolutions for grants, extensions, name changes and technical approvals. They can resolve cases where a directory name changed or the product permission needs a precise date.

General licences normally run for ten years and can be renewed for the same period. Singular licences run for one to five years with renewals. Read the current resolution instead of inferring validity from a launch date.

A complete conclusion names the entity, .es domain, general category, singular game licence and check date. If the question concerns sportsbook, do not add casino or poker unless that permission is confirmed.

The DGOJ states that only licensed operators may organise and market state-level online gambling. Keep the conclusion limited to Spain and the games supported by the record.

The most frequent error is stopping after finding a brand or company. Another is treating every group domain as part of the Spanish permission. A third is confusing the general category with the singular licence for the actual game.

If no operator or domain appears, search the entity disclosed in the website terms and known trading names. Preserve the queries and date before recording the service as not listed in the reviewed directory.

Do not expand a no-match into a worldwide allegation. It is a Spain-specific finding about the named entity, domain and product.

Does a general licence cover every game? No. The relevant singular licence is also required. Does an international licence replace DGOJ authorisation? No. Is a .es domain enough? It is an important signal, but reproduce the company and product match in the finder.

How often should the result be refreshed? Recheck before publication and after a company, domain or licence resolution changes. Atlas assigns this guide a 30-day review cadence.
