Why the SRIJ
In Portugal, only operators licensed by the Gambling Regulation and Inspection Service (SRIJ) of Turismo de Portugal may offer online gambling. Licensed sites use a .pt domain.
Playing on an unlicensed site means losing the protection of Portuguese law: no guarantee you will be paid, no self-exclusion tools and no regulator to complain to.
FAQ
Yes, since 2015, when the Legal Framework for Online Gambling and Betting (Decree-Law 66/2015) came into force. Only operators licensed by the SRIJ are legal, which you can check in the official register of licensed operators.
The site should use a .pt domain and show its licence number. Always confirm the brand and operating company in the SRIJ register. Every review on this site gives the licence number and a direct link to the register.
You must be 18 or older. Licensed casinos check your identity and age when you register, usually with your citizen card.
It is the total amount you must bet before you can withdraw the bonus and any winnings from it. A €100 bonus with 30x bonus wagering means betting €3,000. Use our calculator to do the maths.
The special online gambling tax (IEJO) is paid by licensed operators under Decree-Law 66/2015. For your personal tax position, always check with the Portuguese Tax Authority.
Self-exclusion in your casino account applies to that site. On the SRIJ self-exclusion platform it applies to every licensed site in Portugal, for at least 3 months or indefinitely.
Some buttons take you to the casino through affiliate links marked "Ad". We may earn a commission, but this does not change the scores or the order of the ranking, which follows the average of the six scores.
