Spanish government gives green light for new licensing window
Companies are able to apply for both B2B and B2C licences as the DGOJ opens its latest licensing round
The Spanish ministry of finance has given the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) the green light to re-open the window for operators to apply for gambling licences.
A statement from the Spanish gambling authority said once the window opens, firms will be able to apply for both B2B and B2C licences.
Although no specific date for the window has been announced, the director general of the authority, Juan Espinosa Garcia previously told EGR: “As soon as the minister approves the proposals the window is officially open straightaway.
“The aim is also for Spain to be open for applications throughout the whole of 2018 more or less.”
Once the window closes, the DGOJ will have a maximum of six months to grant licences.
Elsewhere, the Spanish market grew 37% year-on-year, in the third quarter with GGR reaching €140m.
