RD 813/2026 was published in the BOE on 8 October 2026 and entered into force on 28 October 2026.
Royal Decree 813/2026 and Identity Verification in Online Gambling in Spain ↗
What happened
- The article states the six-month transitional period ends 28 April 2027, during which previously registered players can deposit and play but cannot withdraw winnings.
- Veridas states it holds an independent legal report concluding its solution complies with SEPBLAC's authorization.
- Veridas states it holds a DEKRA conformity assessment on technical requirements of SEPBLAC-authorized procedures.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Spanish online gambling identity checks move to the AMLR-style Art. 21 route, making video ID a direct competitive bid in Iberia gambling.
- Veridas names gambling operators as customers; Signicat's gambling exposure in Spain is not established by this source.
