Executive overview

SRIJ is the Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos, part of Turismo de Portugal. Its official licensed-entities list identifies operators authorised to offer online gambling in Portugal. An MGA or other foreign licence does not replace the Portuguese authorisation.

Age limits and responsible gambling

For adults aged 18 or over. Consult the SRIJ safe-gambling guidance and the operator’s account-limit and self-exclusion options before playing. Do not bypass exclusion or country restrictions with a different domain or a VPN. RTP is a theoretical long-term value and does not make gambling risk-free.

Complaints and limits of this guide

Keep the offer terms, account records and correspondence. Contact the operator about a dispute and consult the official SRIJ complaint channels for further steps. Licensing does not guarantee winnings or a specific withdrawal time. VerifiedCasinos is an affiliate comparison directory that collects published information, not SRIJ, a casino or an independent test laboratory.

Practical regulatory guide

Match the operator, domain and licence

Open the official licensed-entities list below. Match the legal operator and exact domain with the website you plan to use. Review the licence details rather than relying on an operator’s logo or a brand name. Check the live official source before registering or depositing. This guide does not certify a particular operator or make an unavailable offer eligible.

A sports-betting licence is not a casino licence

Check which gambling activities the licence covers. The SRIJ list distinguishes licences and game categories; permission for sports betting must not be treated as permission for online casino games. Separately verify bonus eligibility, wagering requirements, deposit limits and payment rules in the operator’s current terms. Stored comparison data can become outdated.
