What the framework covers

What the framework covers

Fixed-odds sports betting, horse-race betting and different games of chance may require distinct licences. Land casinos operate through specific gambling zones and concessions; a physical authorisation does not automatically cover the internet.

How to check an offer

How to check an offer

Open the entity’s entry in the SRIJ list and match its brand, licence number, game type and domain. Check the update date and any suspension or enforcement decisions published by the authority.

What not to infer

What not to infer

A Portuguese-language website accessible in the country is not part of the legal market unless linked to a published licence. Bonuses and attractive payouts cannot cure missing authorisation or remove the mathematical edge.
