Summary

Portugal runs a licensed online market under the Legal Framework for Online Gambling and Betting (RJO), Decree-Law 66/2015. The Gambling Regulation and Inspection Service (SRIJ), part of Turismo de Portugal, supervises it, and the Gaming Commission issues licences. Licences are granted by category: fixed-odds sports betting, horse race betting, and games of chance, which cover slots, table games, poker, crash games and bingo. There is no cap, applications are open at any time, and licences run for three renewable years. Operators need an EU or EEA company with a Portuguese branch, a .pt website and data infrastructure in Portugal. Unlicensed online gambling is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison, and lotteries remain the exclusive business of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa. Tax is the distinctive feature. The special online gambling tax (IEJO) takes 25% of gross revenue from games of chance but 8% of the amount staked on fixed-odds sports betting, a charge due whether the book wins or loses. Income subject to IEJO is exempt from corporate income tax, and players pay no income tax on winnings. Online gross revenue was €1,206.4 million in 2025, up 8.5%, and €328.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, 14.4% more than a year earlier, with games of chance 61.9% of the total. In July 2026 the SRIJ licensed Retabet and Play Jogo, taking the register to 19 operators and 33 licences. Parliament rejected a sponsorship ban in April 2026; on 17 September 2026 new bills were tabled to restrict advertising and sponsorship and to tax net winnings.

Common pitfalls

Treating the 8% sports betting tax as a revenue tax: it is charged on stakes, so the effective rate on gross revenue is much higher. Assuming an EU licence is enough: licences from other states are not valid in Portugal. Assuming the 22:30 to 07:00 broadcast window is statutory: it comes from the SRIJ good practice manual.

Compliance

Minimum age
18+
KYC timing
Before any play: a registration only becomes effective once identity is verified and it is confirmed that the person is not barred from gambling (RJO art. 37(5)).
AML regime
Licensees are obliged entities under Law 83/2017 (art. 4(1)(c)); they verify player identity as the RJO requires (Law 83/2017, art. 77) and apply identification and due diligence to transactions of €2,000 or more (art. 23(2)). Loans to players are prohibited (RJO art. 42(3)).
AML supervisor
Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos (Law 83/2017, art. 89)
Deposit limits
Operators must provide tools that let players limit deposits into their account and the amounts they bet (RJO art. 7(3)(d)); no statutory cap is set.
Source of funds thresholds
Identification and due diligence on transactions of €2,000 or more, single or linked (Law 83/2017, art. 23(2)).
Central monitoring system
All traffic from Portugal or from .pt accounts passes through the operator's entry and registration infrastructure, which reports to the control infrastructure run by the SRIJ (RJO arts. 4(j) and (k), 32).
Data localisation
The entry and registration infrastructure must be installed in Portugal and online gambling data stored there for ten years (RJO art. 34(c) and (d)).
KYC requirements
The player record must hold full name, date of birth, nationality, occupation, address, identity or passport number, tax number, email and payment account details.

Reporting obligations
Monthly activity reports by the 15th of the following month (RJO art. 34(e)); monthly statement of the gambling bank account balance against total player balances (art. 44(3)); hourly reporting of player account transactions and financial summaries (Instructions 24/2025 and 25/2025); self-exclusions passed to the SRIJ within 24 hours (art. 26(1)(p)).
Game content restrictions
Only game types with rules approved by regulation may be offered; unregulated online games and bets are prohibited (RJO art. 5(3) and (4)).

Advertising

Advertising permitted
Yes
Watershed
The SRIJ good practice manual says gambling advertising on television and radio should not run between 07:00 and 22:30, nor in the 30 minutes before or after programmes for children and young people. This is regulator guidance; article 21 of the Advertising Code sets no time window.
Sponsorship rules
Sponsorship is not separately restricted by statute. The good practice manual says communications and advertising for events involving minors should not mention gambling. Parliament rejected a sponsorship ban (Projeto de Lei 220/XVII) on 30 April 2026, and a new one (752/XVII) was tabled on 17 September 2026.
Celebrity and influencer rules
The good practice manual says advertising should not use statements by well-known personalities suggesting gambling brings recognition or skills, nor appeal to young people through figures they admire, and operators must ensure bloggers, brand ambassadors, influencers and streamers comply with the Advertising Code and the manual.
Social media rules
Online advertising follows the same rules as other media; advertisers should use platform tools to keep ads from minors, avoid sites and apps aimed at under-18s, and use verified official profiles (SRIJ good practice manual, point 10).
Bonus advertising rules
Promotional offers and bonuses must not be presented in a way that misleads players about their conditions (SRIJ good practice manual, point 6.1(d)).
Mandatory warnings
The manual calls for an 18+ reference, a responsible gambling message such as "Seja responsável. Jogue com moderação", and a reference to player support services on commercial communications.
Penalties for breach
Breach of article 21 is an administrative offence fined under article 34(1)(c) of the Advertising Code. The SRIJ investigates and the Gaming Commission decides gambling advertising cases.

Restrictions

  • Advertising must be socially responsible, protect minors and vulnerable groups, and may not appeal to easy winnings, suggest success, social standing or special skills, or encourage excessive play (Advertising Code art. 21(1)).
  • Advertising aimed at minors or using minors in the message is prohibited (art. 21(2)).
  • No gambling advertising inside schools or other places for minors, or within 250 metres of them; state social games are exempt from the 250 metre rule (art. 21(3), (4) and (7)).
  • No mention of gambling at events aimed at minors or where minors are the main participants, or in their promotion (art. 21(5)).
  • Operators may not be associated with any advertising of loans (art. 21(6)).
  • Commercial communications should include an 18+ reference and a general warning such as "Seja responsável. Jogue com moderação" (SRIJ good practice manual).

Payments

Credit card ban

Withdrawal timeframe rules
Operators must transfer the player account balance on request to the payment account the player holds and registered; on a player's death the balance must be paid within three days of the death certificate (RJO arts. 26(1)(g) and 40(6)).
Currency restrictions
Euro only: payment instruments must use legal tender in Portugal and come from authorised payment service providers that identify the payer (RJO art. 42(1) and (2)). All gambling transactions go through one bank account in the EU (art. 26(1)(h)).

Criminal penalties
Unlicensed operation or promotion of online gambling, including from servers abroad, is punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine of up to 500 days (RJO art. 49); game fraud by three to eight years (art. 50). Companies are criminally liable (art. 53).
Operator liability
The SRIJ orders unlicensed operators to stop within 48 hours; if they do not, internet access, hosting and search providers must block access within 48 hours of notification (RJO arts. 31 and 47). Licences issued by other states are not valid in Portugal (art. 9(3)).

A similar sponsorship ban was rejected in April 2026, so passage is uncertain. The SRIJ joined European regulators in June 2026 in targeting unlicensed prediction market platforms.
