Gambling in Spain

 
Currency : Euro
Language : Spanish
Population : 47 million
Continent : Europe


Gambling has been legal in Spain for the past 150 years. However, it is limited to the basic lotteries while other forms of gambling is restricted and strictly controlled by the government. It was not until the year 1977 that the government legalized all forms of skill-based gambling, whereas games of chance like slot machines and other similar sorts of gambling were not legalized until 1981. It can be seen that currently, Spain is one of the most gambling nations in the world with turnovers of twice as much each year as in the United Kingdom.

In 2008, Spain was divided into 17 regions where each region were given the chance to develop their own legislation on gambling activity in the region. Hence, they have their own power to grant own gambling licenses. Today, there are over 40 casinos across Spain with more than a quarter of a million gambling machines, an amount of slightly lesser than in the United Kingdom. Later in 2008, sportsbook and legal sports gambling emerge quickly across the country.

The legislation regarding online gambling in Spain is in the midst of transformation. A few years ago, there were no specific laws that regulate online gambling. However, early year 2002, the Spanish government have decided to extend their authority in terms of internet and regulated online gambling by legalizing the internet gambling.

While the legislative changes to Spain's online gambling laws are still in progress, much work was done towards the goal of legal internet gambling in Spain in the early 2009. Soon, it can be seen that Spanish online gambling licenses will be available to the European Union-based operators where Spanish players are given the opportunity to access gambling websites that are hosted in Spain.
