Gambling and betting on sports is generally legal in Spain. However, there are some restrictions that are part of the Spanish Gambling Act passed in 2011. Before this law came into force, sports betting was very easily accessible and unstructured in the Iberian country. Currently, any operator wishing to offer sports betting services (both online and physically) must obtain a license.

What are the options for players?
In Spain, players can try their luck at a wide variety of games. However, the Gambling Act prohibits live betting during an event. Bingo is also banned, at least in principle. Some sports that are required by law and you can bet:
- Soccer;
- Basketball;
- Horse racing;
- Dog racing;
- Tennis;
- E-Sports;
- MotoGP;
- UFC, etc.
Another option is also the National Lottery. Unlike other games, the National Lottery in Spain is controlled and managed by the state itself, not the gambling authority. A special feature of the Spanish National Lottery is that citizens outside the country can also participate in it.
