Verify Phone Number
Enter your Spanish mobile number (+34) and receive a verification SMS. Enter the code to confirm your number.

You can request lower limits at any time for responsible gambling.
Common Verification Issues
"Document not readable"
Take a new photo with better lighting. Avoid shadows and glare. Make sure all text and the photo are clearly visible.
"NIE not found in database"
Double-check you entered the NIE correctly with dashes (X-1234567-A). If it's a new NIE, wait 24-48 hours for it to appear in the DGOJ system.
"Name mismatch"
Your name must match exactly across all documents. Contact customer support if you have middle names or special characters causing issues.
Verification taking too long
Most verifications complete within 24-72 hours. If it's been longer, contact customer support via live chat for an update.
