The multi-award-winning crash game Aviatrix has received final approval from the Spanish regulator ahead of a full launch in the country.

The approval (homologation) from Spain’s Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) means that any licensed operator in the country can now integrate Aviatrix, either via an aggregator or directly.

Anastasia Rimskaya, Chief Account Officer at Aviatrix, said: “We’re proud to announce that Aviatrix is ready to take flight in Spain in 2025. This is a market we’ve been watching closely for a long time, and we’ve worked really hard to make sure we can offer our game to operators in the easiest way possible. We look forward to building many great, mutually beneficial partnerships in Spain over the coming months.”

The Aviatrix team will be touching down in Spain in January for ICE Barcelona 2025. To find out more about adding the game to your Spanish-licensed operator, drop by stand 2E30.

Aviatrix has significantly increased its regulator footprint around the world over the last 12 months, gaining licences or certifications in major markets, including Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Colombia, Ontario and many more.
