Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ)

Founded: 2002. The Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) is Spain’s national authority responsible for licensing and supervising online gambling operators. The regulator enforces strict rules for player protection, fair gaming, responsible gambling and anti‑money laundering, making it one of Europe’s more controlled markets. Operators must meet high standards for transparency, technical security and financial integrity before receiving a Spanish license. Through continuous monitoring and a clear legal framework, the DGOJ ensures that online casinos operating in Spain provide a safe, compliant and well‑regulated environment for players.
