Betway Renews Spanish Online Gambling Licence Until 2029
Spain.- 10 November 2026 | www.zonadeazar.com Betway, Super Group’s flagship sportsbook brand, has renewed its Spanish online gambling licence for a further three years, securing authorisation to continue operating in the regulated market until the end of 2029.
The renewal was confirmed through the official register of Spain’s Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) and covers sports betting alongside several online casino products.
The decision reinforces Betway’s presence in Spain, which remains an important market within Super Group’s European growth strategy.
DGOJ Extends Gambling Authorisations
The renewal allows Betway to continue providing services under Spain’s gambling regulatory framework.
Alongside its principal licence, the DGOJ extended authorisations for individual gambling products.
The company’s licensed portfolio includes:
- Sports betting.
- Fixed-odds horse racing betting.
- Online slots.
- Roulette.
- Blackjack.
Spain’s licensing framework requires operators to hold both general licences and specific authorisations for individual gambling products.
Super Group Reports 15% European Revenue Growth
The extension comes as Super Group (SGHC), which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, continues expanding its European operations.
During the first nine months of 2026, the company reported:
- European revenue: $360 million.
- Year-on-year growth: 15%.
- Approximate equivalent: £268 million.
The group has not disclosed separate financial results for Spain.
However, CEO Neal Menashe previously identified the Spanish market as an opportunity to increase Betway’s market share.
Betway Has Operated in Spain Since 2012
Betway entered the Spanish market in 2012, securing its initial sports betting and blackjack licences.
The authorisations were granted under the regulatory framework established by Spain’s 2011 Gambling Act.
Since then, the company has developed its sportsbook and online casino offering, gradually expanding its authorised product portfolio.
The latest renewal ensures continuity for a further three years.
Football Sponsorships Supported Expansion
Betway initially strengthened its Spanish brand presence through sponsorship agreements with football clubs.
From 2018 onwards, the company established partnerships with:
- Levante UD.
- CD Leganés.
- Deportivo Alavés.
- Real Betis.
- RCD Espanyol.
- Celta Vigo.
However, advertising restrictions introduced under Spain’s gambling regulations forced these sponsorship agreements to end after the 2020/2021 season.
Betway subsequently had to adapt its commercial strategy to a more restrictive advertising environment.
Spain Remains a Strategic Market
Since 2024, Super Group has revised Betway’s international footprint, withdrawing from jurisdictions where operations were not meeting profitability expectations.
These exits included Portugal, Italy and Sweden.
By contrast, the renewal of its Spanish licences confirms Betway’s continued commitment to Spain.
The company is seeking to strengthen its position in a competitive market where customer acquisition and regulatory compliance remain important considerations.
New Deposit Limits From March 2027
Betway’s continued operations will coincide with the introduction of additional regulatory safeguards.
The DGOJ is preparing a centralised deposit-limit system, scheduled to take effect in March 2027.
The system will introduce default limits of:
- €700 per day.
- €1,750 per week.
- €3,300 over four weeks.
These limits will apply collectively across a player’s accounts with all licensed gambling operators.
Customers will be able to request changes to their limits, subject to applicable consumer protection requirements.
Operators Must Adapt Their Platforms
The new framework will require licensed companies to connect their systems to the DGOJ’s centralised platform.
Before accepting deposits, operators will need to verify whether the transaction falls within the player’s remaining allowance.
A six-month technical adaptation period has been established.
For Betway, complying with these requirements will be one of its main regulatory priorities during 2027.
Industry Impact and Next Steps
The licence renewals secure Betway’s presence in Spain until the end of 2029 and support Super Group’s wider European strategy.
The company will maintain its sportsbook, horse racing and online casino offerings while preparing for additional player protection requirements.
With European revenue reaching $360 million during the first nine months of 2026 and its Spanish licence renewed for three years, Super Group is reaffirming its commitment to the Spanish market through Betway.
