Betway extends its Spanish licenses for three more years

Betway, which operates in Spain, has received three-year extensions to its licenses for blackjack, roulette and fixed-odds horse race betting. The regulator DGOJ approved the extensions in October and November 2026. The blackjack permit was renewed on 29 October, while the roulette and horse race betting permits were renewed on 6 November.

The decisions are extensions of existing licenses, not new product permits. The company submitted its applications on 22 September. The regulator confirmed that Betway Spain still meets the conditions of its original permits. These conditions include keeping at least 60 percent of licensed transactions in the relevant license periods and paying all outstanding taxes and administrative fees. The extensions are calculated from the original expiry dates of the licenses, and current conditions remain unchanged.

Betway entered Spain's regulated online betting market in 2012. Its first permits were general licenses for blackjack, roulette and other games. The company obtained a general betting license in 2015 and added fixed-odds horse racing, sports betting and other betting products in 2018. Its portfolio also includes slot approval. On the other hand, poker and bingo permits ended in November 2013, and in 2022 the company voluntarily gave up its punto y banca license.

Betway, the group's main brand, reported European revenue of 360 million dollars in the first nine months of 2026. This figure represents a 15 percent increase compared with the same period last year. The group did not share a separate revenue figure for Spain.

The license news coincides with Spain preparing its centralized deposit limit system. The system will fully come into force on 26 March 2027 and will track deposits by individual players across all licensed operators. Operators will have to check the DGOJ's central platform before accepting deposits. Players can lower their limits immediately. Increasing or removing limits will be subject to a three-business-day waiting period and additional responsible gambling information.
