Online gambling revenue in Spain increased 18.5% year-on-year during the second quarter of 2025, driven by double-digit growth across the casino and sports betting sectors.
For the three months to the end of June, gross online gambling revenue amounted to €410.3 million ($484.2 million). Regulator Directorate General for Gambling Regulation (DGOJ) said this surpassed Q2 last year and was 2.8% more than Q1 2025.
Total deposits for the period increased 23.7% to €1.35 billion, with this only marginally lower than Q1. Player withdrawals were also up 28.9% year-on-year to €962.9 million and on par with Q1.
The DGOJ also noted an 11.7% rise in new accounts to 504,853, although this was 11.6% down from Q1. Marketing spend increased 37.1% from last year to €164.5 million, with this also slightly higher than Q1 of this year.
Online casino remains king in Spain
Breaking down the market, online casino was again the primary source of online gambling revenue.
In Q2, revenue from online casino reached €216.4 million, representing 52.7% of the whole market and 26.0% more than 2024. The DGOJ said this growth was driven by slot machines, where revenue hiked 33.6%.
There was also growth in sports betting, with revenue rising by 18.2% to €171.4 million, or 41.8% of overall revenue. This was also 2.7% more than in the opening quarter of 2025 in Spain.
A further €19.1 million was attributed to online poker, a year-on-year decline of 25.2% and 25.1% behind Q1. Bingo revenue topped €3.4 million, down 6.4% from last year and 6.9% less than Q1 of 2025.
The DGOJ also made reference to gambling defined as ‘contests’ in Spain. However, it said only “very small figures” were reported across both revenue and player spending.
By the end of Q2, a total of 77 operators held licences in Spain. Of these, 64 had at least one active single licence during the period. These included 52 that offered online casino gaming, 42 sports betting, nine poker, four bingo and two contests.
