Frequently asked questions
How can I identify a licensed Portuguese online casino?
Open the SRIJ register and compare the exact website and legal entity with the account terms. Read the entry for the games of chance the operator is permitted to offer. A separate sports-betting authorisation covers its own product.
Is a casino's Portuguese-language page enough to verify it?
No. Portuguese is used in several markets. A site can show EUR or translated terms and still be an international version. Compare the complete domain and operator against the Portuguese register.
Who checks a technical gaming system in Portugal?
A recognised certifying body tests the technical system against the programme. SRIJ homologation is a separate regulatory step. The operator's game permission and the relevant technical approval apply to the system it actually deploys.
Can the same studio offer different games on two Portuguese sites?
Yes. Two operators can hold different product permissions and deploy different versions of a studio's catalogue. Confirm the title and game rules in the local website before comparing entries.
Does a foreign licence recorded in a review cover Portugal?
A foreign record can identify the reviewed service and its oversight. For Portuguese operations, look for the local authorisation and the exact domain identified by SRIJ.
What should a Portuguese casino complaint include?
Keep the licensed operator's name, website, account date and the transaction or round reference. Give the operator a clear description of the issue and retain its response for any further complaint.
Where do I find the scope of a self-exclusion request?
Read the confirmation and distinguish an operator-specific request from the central self-exclusion mechanism. Record the date and check which licensed sites are covered under the process you used.
How should I compare payment information from reviews?
Distinguish a supported EUR account from a payment method that is available for your Portuguese account. Deposits, withdrawals, charges and processing conditions should be checked against the exact local cashier.
