Spain Moves to Link Deposit Limits Across All Online Betting Sites

Spain's consumer regulator announced two new digital measures for online gambling on Wednesday. The first is a shared deposit limit system that applies to all licensed operators. The second is a new player portal that lets people track their betting activity from a single screen.

The system will take effect from spring 2027. Limits will be totaled per player and enforced regardless of which platform they use. The default caps are 700 euros per day, 1,750 euros per week, and 3,300 euros over a four-week period.

The rule aims to close a gap under the previous setup, where each site set its own independent limit and players could get around those protections by splitting deposits across several platforms. The DGOJ said about one in three online gamblers in Spain plays with more than one operator.

Players will be able to change or remove their limits if they wish. However, changes will take effect three working days later, and a request to raise a limit can only be made once every three months. This waiting period is intended to encourage responsible adjustment of financial risk.

The limit system is currently in testing and its official launch is expected in March 2027. The player portal is already open. Accessed through Spain's Cl@ve digital identity system, the portal shows betting activity across all licensed operators in one panel.
