Galicia proposes new social bingo rules and gambling tax fees

Regulation

Galicia’s government proposed changes to the regional gambling law in a fiscal and administrative bill accompanying the 2026 budget, reportedly on 21 October 2025. Eligible organisations could hold up to four social bingo sessions monthly, with a €1,300 stake limit and €1,000 prize limit per session; the proposal also sets machine registration fees, including €162.59 for type A special machines. The bill would exempt specified traditional, family or friendly raffles from authorisation where prizes do not exceed €600 and there is no profit-making operation.

Operators and eligible organisations would need to account for revised machine fees and new limits on social bingo and raffles.
