Three more Betway Spain, S.A. licences have been renewed by the country's gambling regulator. The Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) extended the operator's blackjack licence on October 29, 2026, followed by its roulette and fixed-odds horse-racing licences on November 6, 2026. All three run for three years.
The decision means Betway can keep offering its casino table games and racing markets to Spanish players on betway.es. For more on the wider regulatory picture, see our report on Spain's new online gambling payment rules.
What The DGOJ Register Shows
Betway Spain's entry in the DGOJ operator register carries general licences for betting and other games, plus singular licences covering sports betting, other fixed-odds betting, blackjack, horse-racing betting, roulette and slots.
The entry lists a single domain, betway.es, and confirms the operator is authorised to advertise.
The three latest resolutions grant extensions to the singular licences for blackjack (October 29) and for roulette and fixed-odds horse-racing betting (both November 6). Earlier renewals also appear on the register: the general betting licence on October 11, 2024, and the slots licence on September 27, 2024.
How Licence Renewals Work In Spain
The roulette resolution, published on the DGOJ site, sets out the process. Singular licences last three years and can be rolled over for further three-year terms, provided the general licence they hang on stays in force. Operators must apply during the licence's final year, no later than four months before it lapses.
Applicants also have to demonstrate that the conditions attached to the original grant still hold, and that the licence has run without interruption for at least three fifths of its term. Gambling tax and administrative fees must be paid up. The DGOJ found Betway Spain satisfied every test. Betway submitted its roulette request on September 22, 2026.
The extension starts from the date the previous term would have ended, and the remaining licence terms are unchanged. Betway's original roulette licence dates to June 1, 2012 — a measure of how long the company has held Spanish authorisation. Director General Mikel Arana Echezarreta signed the November 6 roulette resolution.
Technical Approval And Product Scope
A second approval of Betway Spain's technical system, dated September 3, 2025, also appears on the register, covering the general betting licence and the slots licence.
Spanish operators need separate authorisations for individual products on top of a general licence, so every extension affects which games Betway is allowed to run.
No single expiry date covers all products in the register entry — each licence follows its own cycle. Later renewals will show up in the DGOJ resolutions list as they are approved.
