Betway Spain Wins Three-Year Extensions On Casino And Racing Licences
Spain's gambling regulator has renewed three more licences held by Betway Spain, S.A. The Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling, known as the DGOJ, extended Betway's blackjack licence on October 29, 2026 and its roulette and fixed-odds horse-racing licences on November 6, 2026. Each extension runs for three years.
The renewals keep Betway's casino table games and racing betting available to Spanish customers on its .es site. Our report on Spain's new online gambling payment rules covers the wider regulatory backdrop.
What The DGOJ Register Shows
The DGOJ operator register entry for Betway Spain lists general licences for betting and other games and singular licences for sports betting, other fixed-odds betting, blackjack, horse-racing betting, roulette and slots.
It records one domain, betway.es, and confirms the operator holds authorisation to carry out advertising activity.
The three newest entries are resolutions granting extensions to the singular licences for blackjack, dated October 29, and for roulette and fixed-odds horse-racing betting, both dated November 6. The register also shows earlier renewals of the general betting licence on October 11, 2024 and the slots licence on September 27, 2024.
How Licence Renewals Work In Spain
The roulette resolution, which is available on the DGOJ site, explains the mechanics. Singular licences run for three years and can be extended for successive periods of the same length, as long as the general licence they depend on remains in force. The operator has to apply in the last year of the licence and at least four months before it ends.
To qualify, the operator must show it still meets the conditions that applied when the licence was granted and has run the licence without interruption for at least three fifths of its term. It must also have paid gambling tax and administrative fees. The DGOJ said Betway Spain met each of those tests. Betway filed its roulette request on September 22, 2026.
The extension takes effect from the date the previous term would have expired, and the other licence terms stay as they were. The original roulette licence was granted on June 1, 2012, which shows how long Betway has held a Spanish licence. Director General Mikel Arana Echezarreta signed the November 6 roulette resolution.
Technical Approval And Product Scope
The register also shows a second approval of Betway Spain's technical system on September 3, 2025, covering its general betting licence and its slots licence.
In Spain, operators need individual authorisations for specific products on top of a general licence, so each extension matters to the games Betway can offer.
The register entry does not show a single expiry date for all products, because each licence has its own cycle. Further renewals will appear in the DGOJ resolutions list as they are granted.
