Directorate General of Gambling Regulation
Madrid, Spain
The Directorate General of Gambling Regulation (DGOJ) is Spain's central authority for gambling oversight, established under the Gambling Act 13/2011. Operating under the Ministry of Consumption, the DGOJ is responsible for licensing, supervising, and enforcing regulations across all forms of gambling except those managed by autonomous communities. Its core functions include issuing operating and personal licenses, monitoring licensed operators for compliance, conducting inspections, and imposing sanctions for violations. The agency also maintains Spain's self-exclusion register (RGIAJ) and an online portal for administrative procedures. A key player in European regulatory cooperation, the DGOJ has intensified efforts to block illegal gambling websites, blocking 172 more illicit sites in 2025 than in 2024—a 106% increase. Headquartered in Madrid, the DGOJ publishes regular market statistics and studies, and collaborates with data protection and consumer authorities to promote responsible gambling. Its mission is to guarantee market integrity, protect consumers, and prevent gambling addiction.
