What the framework covers
What the framework covers
General and specific licences define each operator’s scope. Betting, poker, bingo, roulette and slots are not automatically covered by one authorisation. Land-based casinos and local matters are also governed by the autonomous communities.
How to check an offer
How to check an offer
Use the DGOJ search to find the operator and licences, then match the official domain to the address in the browser. Confirm that the intended game is within scope and that the operator identity is consistent throughout the site.
What not to infer
What not to infer

Start from a domain or legal name
The DGOJ search accepts operator names or websites and lists associated domains. Some operators are shown without a website offering gambling.
Open the holder record before comparing licences. Do not invent a domain for an operator without a website; keep your queried domain unresolved.
