Spain requires domestic gambling approval for prediction market operators

Spain is keeping prediction markets within its gambling-law framework rather than establishing a separate licensing category, according to IGaming Republic’s Nov. 4 report.

The country’s gambling regulator, the DGOJ, has told prediction market operators they must obtain a domestic licence before serving the Spanish market, according to the outlet.

No separate route for prediction platforms

Spain has no dedicated licence category for prediction markets. The reported position places operators within the existing gambling regime, rather than giving them a distinct regulatory route.

Both Kalshi and Polymarket remain blocked in Spain, according to IGaming Republic. The available summary does not provide further details about licensing procedures or any timetable for changes to their access.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Domestic approval is the central requirement: The DGOJ’s reported position makes a Spanish licence necessary for operators seeking to serve the market.
  • Platform access remains restricted: Kalshi and Polymarket are still blocked; the report offers no timetable for a change.
  • A separate framework is not in place: Readers tracking regulatory developments should distinguish between access under existing gambling law and the creation of a dedicated prediction-market licence.
