Betway secures three-year extensions for three Spanish gambling licences

Betway has received three-year extensions for individual licences covering roulette, blackjack and fixed-odds horse-racing betting in Spain. The Spanish Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) recorded two decisions on 6 November 2026, following a separate blackjack decision on 29 October. The renewals maintain the existing permissions held by Betway Spain, S.A. for the three product categories in the regulated online market.

The decisions concern specific individual licences. They do not represent a new general licence or a change to the operator’s ownership. The DGOJ register identifies Betway Spain, S.A. as the licence holder and lists betway.es as the domain used for its authorised activity.

DGOJ renews three individual licences

The DGOJ register records the roulette and fixed-odds horse-racing decisions on 6 November 2026. The blackjack extension was approved on 29 October. Each resolution grants a further three-year period, calculated from the date on which the relevant licence would otherwise have expired.

The permissions cover the development and operation of the specified game types. Spain’s licensing framework separates general authorisations from approvals tied to particular gambling products. An operator may hold a general licence while also requiring an individual permission for each regulated activity.

The register lists Betway Spain under general licences for betting and other games. Its individual permissions include sports betting, other fixed-odds betting, blackjack, fixed-odds horse-racing betting, roulette and gaming machines. The latest decisions relate only to roulette, blackjack and horse-racing betting. They do not constitute a new approval for every product listed in the register.

The extensions provide continuity for Betway’s existing Spanish portfolio. They also form part of the administrative process through which operators seek to maintain individual permissions as current licence periods approach expiry.

Betway’s licensing history in Spain

The regulator’s records show that Betway’s presence in Spain’s regulated online market dates back to the early years of the national licensing framework. The register records initial roulette and blackjack authorisations in June 2012. The fixed-odds horse-racing betting permission appears in the register in August 2018.

The register also lists earlier renewal decisions and other administrative actions affecting Betway Spain’s permissions. The latest extensions are part of that licensing history and should not be taken to mean that every authorisation has remained unchanged since its initial grant.

Betway operates in Spain through betway.es, the domain identified in the DGOJ register. The regulator names Betway as the commercial brand and Betway Spain, S.A. as the legal entity holding the listed licences. The distinction is relevant because the approvals are held by the Spanish operating company rather than by the brand name in isolation.

The three renewed permissions sit within a wider authorisation structure. The latest resolutions do not, by themselves, disclose changes to Betway’s commercial strategy, customer numbers or product performance in Spain.

Super Group reports European revenue growth

Betway is part of Super Group (SGHC) Limited, which also operates the Spin online casino business. In its third-quarter 2026 results, published on 3 November, Super Group reported European revenue of $360 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2026. The figure for the corresponding period in 2025 was $312 million.

The regional figures provide context for the wider group but should not be treated as revenue generated by Betway Spain. Super Group’s geographical breakdown identifies Europe as a region and does not provide a separate Spain figure. The data covers the group’s operations rather than one brand or regulated market.

The revenue comparison does not establish that the licence extensions caused any change in group performance. It also does not indicate how much of the reported European revenue came from Spain, Betway or any particular product category.

Spain prepares a centralised deposit-limit system

The licensing decisions come as Spain prepares a centralised deposit-limit system for customers using more than one licensed online gambling operator. Under the framework set out in national legislation, the default combined limits are €700 per day, €1,750 per week and €3,300 over a four-week period.

The limits are intended to apply across participating licensed accounts rather than being assessed separately by each operator. The DGOJ is responsible for the system that allows operators to check whether a proposed deposit remains within the applicable combined limit. The framework is designed to provide a consolidated view of deposits made across different licensed services.

The official information states that the limits can be adjusted or removed through a defined process. Changes are subject to a three-business-day delay and increases can be requested no more than once every three months. These safeguards form part of the framework alongside the headline amounts.

The system is scheduled to take effect in March 2027. Its introduction will affect the wider Spanish licensed online gambling market and is not specific to Betway. The centralised approach is intended to complement existing operator-level controls, rather than replace licensing requirements for individual games and betting products.

Conclusion

Betway’s latest licensing extensions represent an important step in maintaining its established position within Spain’s regulated online gambling market. By securing another three years of authorisation for roulette, blackjack and fixed-odds horse-racing betting, Betway Spain, S.A. can continue offering these activities under the permissions granted by the country’s gambling regulator. Although the decisions do not introduce new products or signal a change in the company’s wider strategy, they provide regulatory continuity for three established parts of its Spanish portfolio.

The renewals also come at a significant time for the Spanish gambling industry. The introduction of centralised deposit limits in March 2027 will bring additional requirements for licensed operators and establish a more coordinated approach to monitoring customer deposits across different platforms. For companies such as Betway, adapting to these requirements will be an important part of maintaining compliance while continuing to operate within the national regulatory framework.

Meanwhile, Super Group’s reported European revenue growth provides a broader indication of the group's financial development, although the absence of separately disclosed Spanish figures makes it difficult to assess Betway Spain’s individual contribution. Ultimately, the latest DGOJ decisions demonstrate the importance of maintaining product-specific authorisations in a closely regulated market. As Spain moves towards its next phase of regulatory implementation, Betway’s ability to retain its existing permissions and meet evolving compliance obligations will remain central to its continued presence in the country.
