Most fundamentally, a DGOJ license signals that an operator is permitted to offer its games in Spain. That allows Spanish players to immediately know which sites are officially authorized in the country and distinguish them from operators that may be illegally providing gambling services in Spain.
Because the DGOJ is strict about its licensing standards, these sites also come with an added level of legitimacy and trust. DGOJ casinos must meet security standards both for data protection and financial transactions, and both the company itself and its key executives will have undergone and passed background checks to ensure these operations are trustworthy.
There are also some tangible benefits that players can look for with a DGOJ license. For instance, you’ll have access to a number of responsible gambling tools that are required for casinos that operate under this license, ranging from the ability to set deposit limits to access to RGIAJ, the national self-exclusion program that allows you to ban yourself from all regulated sites in Spain if you wish to do so.
Users can also feel confident in the fairness of the games of any site holding a license from the DGOJ. All sites regulated in Spain must be regularly audited by independent labs and have their random number generators certified and tested to ensure fairness.
Players can also rest easy knowing that if there is a dispute with the casino that they can’t solve themselves, that the DGOJ can step in to arbitrate the issue. You can issue a complaint to the DGOJ which will then act as a mediator to come up with an enforceable and fair resolution for all sides.
