Bookmakers · Europe
Your starting point for comparing bookmakers across Europe. Begin with your country, then look at local licensing, payments, betting markets and the terms that matter to you. National rules differ, so a bookmaker must be checked for your own market. [1]

A useful bookmaker comparison starts with more than a brand name. It should help you understand which website you are dealing with, what you can bet on, how to manage your account and what to expect when you need support or a withdrawal.
OnlineBookies.eu brings those questions together in a country-first directory. Use the European overview below to understand the checks that matter, then use the official sources for the market relevant to you. The same standards should apply whether you prefer an international brand or a locally focused betting site.
Before comparing betting sites, check the official operator register for your market. These are the starting points for our eight featured countries. They are sources for checking authorisation, not a ranking of bookmakers.
Swipe the table to see the official register links.
| Country | Licensing source | Check operators |
|---|---|---|
| Italy | ADM Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli | Official register |
| Germany | GGL Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder | Official register |
| France | ANJ Autorité nationale des jeux | Official register |
| Spain | DGOJ Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego | Official register |
| Portugal | SRIJ Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos | Official register |
| United Kingdom | Gambling Commission Register for Great Britain | Official register |
| Netherlands | Kansspelautoriteit Dutch gambling authority | Official register |
| Sweden | Spelinspektionen Swedish gambling authority | Official register |
The United Kingdom row links to the Gambling Commission’s register for Great Britain; it should not be read as a UK-wide authorisation. Check the exact domain, licence status and permitted betting products in the register.
Make payments part of your comparison, not an afterthought. Read the licensed website’s cashier information and terms before depositing. Check deposits and withdrawals separately, including the account currency, fees, verification steps and limits.
Swipe the table to read all payment checks.
| Payment category | What to check |
|---|---|
| Debit cards | Confirm that your card type and issuer are accepted, and read the separate rules for refunds and withdrawals. |
| Bank transfers | Check the supported bank, transfer route, payment reference, account-name requirements and any conversion costs. |
| Digital wallets | Confirm support for your wallet in your country, including withdrawal eligibility and promotional exclusions. |
| Prepaid vouchers | Read how withdrawals are handled before making a deposit. Do not assume a voucher is also a withdrawal method. |
No payment method is guaranteed to be available on every site. For a regulator’s player guidance, see payments and your rights.
Europe does not mean one currency. Do not assume that every European account uses euros. Confirm the deposit and account currency and check any conversion charges. The EU maintains an official list of euro-using EU countries.
Europe is not a single gambling jurisdiction. Even within the European Union, national regulatory frameworks differ. A licence in one country does not automatically establish permission to accept customers in every other country. Start with the authority relevant to your location. [1]
Match the domain and the company behind it to the local register. A familiar logo alone is not a licence check.
Look for the relevant betting permission, not simply any gambling licence held by the business.
Read the rules on age, identity checks, limits, self-exclusion and complaints before opening an account.
This is a general comparison guide, not individual legal or tax advice. The directory’s broad European scope is editorial; it is not a list of EU members or a claim that online betting is authorised in all 50 locations.
No. Never assume that an international brand accepts customers in every country or has permission to do so. Start with your location and check the exact website against the relevant official register.
No. The European Commission describes different national regulatory frameworks within the EU. Check the authorisation relevant to your market rather than treating a foreign licence as Europe-wide permission.
This directory uses the project’s broad European editorial scope, including transcontinental countries and a separate entry for Kosovo. The 50 entries are not a count of EU members, and inclusion is not a statement that online betting is permitted in each location.
Yes. Before registering, read the terms for both. Check the supported account currency, your chosen payment method, any fees, verification requirements and the applicable withdrawal limits.
Look at the complete conditions: eligibility, qualifying deposit, minimum odds, wagering, expiry and withdrawal rules. Treat promotions as optional and never spend more than your planned limit to qualify.
For adults of the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, with a minimum of 18. Gambling involves risk and can cause harm. Never chase losses or treat betting as an income plan. Use limits, breaks and self-exclusion when needed.
