Casino Affiliate Programmes in Portugal
8 casino programmes in the TopStep Partners network accept players from Portugal. Which of them you can promote depends on the local licensing rules and the channels you run.
The Portugal market for affiliates
Portugal has run a licensed online market since 2015 under the Gambling Regulation and Inspection Service (SRIJ). Licences are issued per product, licensed operators are taxed on gross revenue, and marketing to Portuguese players by an unlicensed operator is illegal. The market is smaller than its neighbours but its players are used to regulated brands.
- Check for an SRIJ licence on the specific product you promote. A brand licensed for betting is not automatically licensed for casino games.
- Portuguese, not Brazilian Portuguese: the two markets share a language and little else, and a page written for one reads as foreign in the other.
- Bonus advertising is restricted for licensed brands, so creatives that lead on a welcome offer are often rejected at review.
Correct at the time of writing; check the current rule with the regulator or platform named above. Not legal advice. Your deal terms take precedence.
