Account authentication for Spanish players

Players have to verify their accounts in line with Spanish regulation. This means proving their age, identity and address by sending us documents.

Why do I need to validate my account?

This process helps to protect players and create a safe gaming environment by making sure that:

  • Vulnerable players, such as minors, can't access our services.
  • Each player has one account.
  • We reduce the risk of fraud and duplicate accounts.
  • A real person with an active mobile phone and email address created the account.
  • We have the means to contact our players if we need to.
How do I validate my account?

To complete the validation process, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Complete the Real Money form.
  • Step 2: Verify your account with documents.

Once we get your documents, we'll verify your account. Deposits and withdrawals will then be available to you.

To complete each step, follow these instructions:

Step 1: Complete the Real Money form

Fill out the form with your details.

Tips for successful validation on your first try:

  • We need to know your full name. If you don’t have a second name add two hyphens "--" or leave the field blank instead of a fake or duplicate name.
  • All fields have a maximum of 85 characters, except for the street name with a maximum of 150 characters.
  • House numbers and zip or postal code are limited to max. 20 characters.
  • House numbers cannot be 0, 00, 000...
  • Before going to the next step, make sure the information is correct to avoid any issues.
  • If you're a Spanish citizen or live in Spain:
    • Add your national ID number: DNI or NIE.
  • If you're a non-Spanish citizen and don't live in Spain:
    • Add your document ID number.
  • If you live in Spain:
    • Add your tax community.
Step 2: Verify your account with documents

Your account is set as 'temporary' until the verification is complete. This means that:

  • You’ll have a €150 deposit limit.
  • You can't withdraw any funds.
  • You can still play Poker, Vegas, and Sports.

If you send us the documents we need with a valid DNI or NIE, this will help us to complete the verification process for you. Neither will your account be suspended from real money activities.

Can I play while abroad or just in Spain?
  • Playing abroad
    • As a Spanish resident, you can legally play on our .ES platform while traveling abroad without restrictions. As long as that is allowed in the country you’re visiting.
  • Playing in Spain
  • If you are a resident of Spain but don't have a DNI or NIE, you can't complete the Real Money form and play real money games.
Things you should know
  • You can't access your .ES account if you're in France or Portugal. This is because of a regulatory agreement between the three countries.
  • Non-Spanish residents can open an account on .ES and use it from abroad. So, you'll see nationalities other than French, Portuguese, and Spanish at the poker-shared liquidity tables.
  • Unless you're in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Colorado, you can't play real money games in the US or US territories.
  • In countries with local online gaming regulations, you'll need to follow the requirements of that region. For example, verification process, account validation, etc.
  • If you're permanently moving abroad, let us know using our software, mobile app or website.
