Spain's DGOJ publishes its licensed operators in the Buscador de operadores. Search the company from the legal notice, then check the activity.
Spain keeps its own register of licensed online gambling operators, published by the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego. The search tool is called the Buscador de operadores and it sits at ordenacionjuego.es.
The Buscador de operadores, at ordenacionjuego.es/operadores-juego/operadores-licencia/operadores, listed on the DGOJ's Operadores de juego page under the heading Operadores con licencia.
Two related pages on the same site are worth knowing about. Resoluciones holds the published decisions granting licences and approvals. Licencias holds the DGOJ's own explanation of the licence types.
As with Malta, the licence belongs to a company, not to a brand.
Spanish licences are frequently held by a Spanish subsidiary whose name looks nothing like the casino you are playing on. Take the company name and tax identifier from the site's legal notice, which Spanish sites are required to publish, and search for that.
Spanish online gambling licences are split into general licences by activity type and singular licences for specific games within them.
The practical consequence is that an operator can hold a licence covering one activity and not another. Confirming that a company appears in the register is step one. Confirming the register shows it authorised for the game you are being offered is step two, and it is the step people skip.
Whether the specific website you are on belongs to the licensed entity.
Spain's register is organised around operators rather than around a URL lookup of the kind Malta publishes. So the register confirms the company is licensed, and matching the company to the site in front of you is work you do yourself, from the site's own legal notice.
If the legal notice names no company, that is the finding. A licensed Spanish operator has no reason to hide its identity, and an unlicensed one has every reason to.
What a Spanish licensed operator must record about you is covered in are Spanish online casinos required to store player data.

| Step | Where | What a pass looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Open the legal notice | The casino's own site | A named company with an identifier |
| 2. Search the operator | Buscador de operadores | The company appears with a current licence |
| 3. Check the activity | The same record | It covers the game you are being offered |
| 4. Cross-check the decision | Resoluciones | A published resolution granting that licence |
It means you have not found the licence holder yet. Spanish licences are held by companies, often local subsidiaries. Get the company name from the site's legal notice and search that.
Spain licenses operators to offer gambling in Spain. A licence from another regulator is a licence for that regulator's market, not for Spain. Check the Spanish register for the Spanish question.
Treat that as your answer. Identifying the operating company is the first step of every check on this page, and a site that will not name itself has failed it.
Register and page names are from the DGOJ's own site. The search order and what to compare are general guidance. Last reviewed October 15, 2026.
