Shared Investment Limits Coming to Spain in 2027

Spain has begun limiting investments across licensed online gambling operators through a central system. The regulator DGOJ launched the system for testing on 21 October 2026. Players will be able to use a single set of limits across all their accounts.

Default limits are set at 700 euros per day, 1,750 euros per week and 3,300 euros over a four-week period. Daily totals run from 06.00 to 06.00 the next day. Weekly limits reset every Tuesday at 06.00. When a threshold is reached, the system requires operators to reject new deposits and explain the reason.

Players can lower, raise or fully remove their shared limits. Reductions take effect immediately, while increase and removal requests take three working days. After a limit has been increased, a new increase or removal request will require a three-month wait. The Free Player Portal can be accessed via the Cl@ve digital identity system, and people without an account can also use the portal.

The ministry expects the measure to affect most players who use multiple operators, a group it puts at around one in three. Industry representative Jdigital, however, cites data showing that about 80 percent of online players use a single operator, and questions whether the limits are proportionate. DGOJ Director General Mikel Arana said he found it notable that operators' integration into the system is still not fully complete at this stage.
