Spain provides tax cuts for online gambling

Published

on

Spain has reduced tax rates for online gambling operators in the country. The gambling industry, quite predictably, has hailed the move and termed it as an “absolutely fantastic” news.

The tax cut was announced in the recently presented 771-page annual budget.  The budget has several tax reductions for online gambling operators, most importantly a 5 per cent reduction in gross gaming revenue, slashing the tax rate from 25 to 20 per cent.

The tax cuts will fuel profits and subsequent growth in the country’s booming online gambling sector. The Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ), Spain’s gambling regulator, recently reported a 27 per cent year-on-year increase in online gambling revenue for the first quarter of 2018.

Santiago Asensi, managing partner of Spanish gaming law firm Asensi Abogados, told iGamingBusiness.com that the new tax regulations will be “good news for everyone”, including the government coffers, which he believes will benefit from a hike in the tax take.

Operators will be able to make better offers to the players who will not go to illegal markets,” he said. “The latest figures from the DGOJ show that all areas of online gambling are expanding, particularly with sports betting and online casino games, so I believe that these new measures will also lead to more tax being collected.

Although the DGOJ has been lobbying the Spanish government for many years to reduce tax rates for online operators, Asensi acknowledged that it would have been “politically very difficult” to introduce such changes at a time of severe austerity across the broader economy, which endured a savage downturn during the global financial crisis.

However, with the economy having expanded by 3.1 per cent in 2017, driven by a significant increase in exports, Spain’s Ministry of Finance has found the right time to bring in the changes, buried in a lengthy document alongside hundreds of other budget decisions.

The DGOJ has been working very hard to reduce the rate for years, but if a party had announced plans to reduce taxes for online gambling companies while asking for sacrifices from the general population, it wouldn’t have got many votes,” Asensi added.

However, now the Spanish economy has recovered, it is the right time.

The five per cent cut will apply to online fixed-odds betting and sports betting, fixed-odds horse racing, betting exchanges and online casino games, bingo and poker.

Companies located in the tiny Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the northern shores of Morocco’s Mediterranean coast will continue to be taxed at 10 per cent of online gross gaming revenues.

The tax rate on pari-mutuel sports betting gross gaming revenue was also cut from 22 to 20per cent, bringing the rate in line with state-owned betting services.

However, the tax rate for pari-mutuel horse racing and pari-mutuel pool betting gross gaming revenues has been increased from 15 to 20 per cent.

The changes were effective from July 1 and have been widely welcomed by companies with interests in the Spanish market who have long argued that the tax rates for online operators have been prohibitive. It emerged in April that Spain’s Congress of Deputies, the lower house of the national government, were looking at slashing tax rates for gambling operators.

Boomerang Partners conducted its own research at iGB London 2025: key findings on affiliate trends

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Boomerang Partners conducted a large-scale brand awareness survey at iGB London 2025, collecting feedback from industry decision-makers at the largest affiliate marketing and iGaming industry event. In essence, the PR team used real-time measurements of the quantitative and qualitative data in an industrial environment with the view of measuring client and customer experience. Additionally, the raw data also allowed the Boomerang team to identify strong trends that other market players may want to consider when creating a roadmap for achieving long-term objectives.

Demographic distribution of the Representative Sample

The Boomerang Partners survey involved 188 respondents from the iGaming and affiliate industries, with an average of 6 years of experience in their respective fields. The largest percentage of them are decision-makers:

  • C-level & department heads – 16%
  • Sales – 16%
  • Affiliate managers – 14%
  • Other managerial roles – 14%
  • Founders & Owners – 11%
  • CEO – 11%

The demographics of the respondents are also interesting. 49.4% of them are from the European Union, 26.7% represent the United Kingdom, and 13.6% from Asia. The share of representatives from other regions was just over 11%.

Brand visibility

The Boomerang Partners’ survey participants provided objective opinions and assessments of affiliate programs, marketing tools, and communications, which allowed the agency to form a cross-section of industry representatives’ expectations. Thus, 29% of them indicated that they learn about new partnership programs and brands at industry events (iGB was mentioned over 120 times, while SiGMA was mentioned more than 45 times). Other ways of obtaining such data include direct research (19%), social media (15%), and networking or word of mouth (15%). Interestingly, none of the sources show a significant advantage in reading industry news and analytics. This highlights the importance of diverse content distribution for increasing brand visibility.

Content types

The Boomerang Partners survey also touched on the types of content respondents found most interesting. Podcasts ranked first in popularity, with 66 respondents mentioning them. Networking, on the other hand, was the most rarely mentioned source of content, noted by only 6 survey participants.

Impact on the market

Boomerang Partners is rightly considered one of the leading brands in the affiliate marketing industry thanks to its commitment to continuous development. The agency creates marketing that responds to industry requests through various formats, creatives, and metrics.
