About Us

Best Online Casinos ES is an independent review site built for English-speaking expats and tourists navigating Spain’s regulated online gambling market. We test, review, and compare licensed online casinos so you don’t have to waste time or money figuring it out yourself.

Who We Are

We’re a small team of gambling industry analysts, content specialists, and long-term Spain residents based across Madrid, Barcelona, Mallorca, and the Canary Islands. Between us, we have over 20 years of combined experience in online gambling, regulatory compliance, and consumer advocacy.

We started Best Online Casinos ES because we noticed a gap: most casino review sites either ignore the Spanish market entirely or write generic content that doesn’t account for Spain’s specific licensing requirements, tax rules, or the practical hurdles English speakers face when signing up. We built the resource we wished existed when we first moved here.

What We Do

  • Hands-on casino reviews — We create real accounts, deposit real money, test customer support in English, and play through bonus wagering requirements before publishing a single word.
  • Regulatory guidance — We explain how Spain’s Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) licensing system works and only feature casinos that hold a valid Spanish licence.
  • Bonus and promotion analysis — We break down the actual value of welcome offers, including wagering requirements, game restrictions, and withdrawal caps that most sites gloss over.
  • Payment method testing — We verify which deposit and withdrawal methods work reliably from Spanish bank accounts and foreign cards, including typical processing times.
  • Responsible gambling resources — We provide clear information about self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, and support organisations available in Spain.

Our Review Process

Every casino review on this site follows a structured methodology. We assess each operator across six core categories:

  • Licensing and safety — Is the casino licensed by the DGOJ? What player protection measures are in place?
  • Game selection — Range, quality, and availability of slots, table games, and live dealer options.
  • Bonuses and fairness — Welcome offers, ongoing promotions, and the realism of actually clearing wagering requirements.
  • Payments — Deposit and withdrawal options, speed, fees, and any issues with foreign-issued cards.
  • English-language support — Availability of the site and customer service in English, including response times.
  • Mobile experience — Performance on iOS and Android, whether via app or mobile browser.

We revisit and update reviews at least every six months, or sooner if an operator makes significant changes to its terms, game library, or licensing status.

Editorial Independence

Best Online Casinos ES earns revenue through affiliate commissions when readers sign up to a casino through our links. This is standard practice in the industry, and we’re transparent about it. However, affiliate relationships never influence our ratings or recommendations. Casinos cannot pay for a higher score, and we have declined partnerships with operators that didn’t meet our standards.

If we wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending a casino to a friend, it doesn’t appear on this site.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertainment, not a financial strategy. We take responsible gambling seriously and include relevant warnings and resources across the site. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, we encourage you to contact:
