Spain's DGOJ said it imposed sanctions totalling €77.396m on online betting and gambling operators, with the decisions becoming final in the second half of 2024. Fourteen foreign operators received €75m in fines for offering gambling without a Spanish licence; the regulator also ordered their websites closed and barred them from operating in Spain for two years. It imposed a further €2.396m in fines on 11 licensed operators for serious breaches.
The sanctions and two-year operating bans affect market access for unlicensed operators, while licensed firms face enforcement over regulatory breaches.
