Free spins are the most common part of a welcome offer for players in Spain. The number of spins matters less than the value per spin, the games they are valid on and the wagering on the winnings. The table compares casinos that accept players from Spain.
How are free spins winnings taxed in Spain?
Winnings from online casino games, including those that start from free spins, are not taxed at source in Spain. The 20% special tax with a 40,000 EUR exemption applies only to state and charity lotteries, not to casino games. Casino winnings count as a capital gain in the general part of your personal income tax (IRPF) and are taxed at your marginal rate.
You declare them yourself in your annual return. Gambling losses can be offset against winnings in the same tax year, but only up to the amount won, so a year with a net loss does not reduce your other income. Licensed operators give you a record of your activity; keep it for your return.
Free spins are mostly offered on slots, which Spanish operators can only run under a singular licence for slot games (máquinas de azar) from the DGOJ. Check that the operator holds that licence on ordenacionjuego.es.
How do free spins work for players in Spain?
Free spins are credited on one or more selected slots, usually after the first deposit, sometimes spread over several days. Each spin has a fixed value, and the winnings are added as bonus money that must be wagered before you can withdraw them.
Online casino games are legal in Spain only at operators licensed by the DGOJ under Ley 13/2011, and offering or advertising unlicensed gambling to people in Spain is prohibited.
Paying in EUR and local payment methods
Of the 44 casinos on this page, 38 let you play in EUR and 44 accept local payment methods.
Popular deposit methods for players in Spain include Bizum, Visa, Mastercard and Paypal. Playing in EUR avoids conversion fees on every deposit and withdrawal.
What wagering means in EUR
With 35x wagering, a 100 EUR bonus means 100 x 35 = 3,500 EUR in bets before the bonus can be withdrawn. Slots usually count in full; table and live games often count less.
35x is the median wagering among the casinos on this page.
