Spain Rolls Out New iGaming Deposit Limits Framework

Spain’s Directorate General for Gambling Regulation (DGOJ) has rolled out a new deposit limits system that aggregates consumer spending across all licensed iGaming operators.

The framework sets combined deposit limits of €700 per day, €1,750 per week and €3,300 over a four-week period.

Players can amend or remove their limits once every three months. The process takes three business days and includes educational resources on the risks associated with gambling.

The DGOJ said the measure will “particularly benefit” the one-third of Spain’s registered player base that holds active accounts with multiple operators.

The combined deposit limit system remains in a testing phase but is available for use ahead of its formal launch on 26 March 2027.

Deposit Limits in Focus in Spain’s iGaming Sector

The DGOJ gave advance notice of the changes, which it said are designed to promote responsible gambling.

The new framework replaces a system in which financial limits were applied separately by each operator rather than across an individual’s gambling activity.

“This meant that the total number of deposits that could be made individually in the gambling market depended on the number of operators with whom each person held an account, allowing for deposits exceeding the initially established limits if activity was spread across different platforms,” the regulator said.

The new approach is intended to give players a combined limit across licensed platforms, regardless of how many operators they use.

Player Portal Offers Overview of Gambling Activity

Alongside the deposit limits framework, the DGOJ has unveiled a player portal designed to provide a “comprehensive view” of users’ iGaming activity across licensed operators.

The portal allows consumers to review their deposits, stakes, winnings and losses. Players can also set customisable alerts for spending and gambling activity, as well as manage their combined deposit limit.

“With the launch of these two tools, the DGOJ is expanding the digital services available to the public and unifying access to information that was previously distributed among different gambling operators,” the regulator said.

The DGOJ added that the tools form part of its efforts to strengthen player protection, prevent risky gambling behaviour and promote safer and more transparent gambling environments through technological innovation
