How to Register on Winamax: Sign-Up in France and Spain (2026)

Who can open a Winamax account

The room holds a licence from the ANJ in France and from the DGOJ in Spain, and those two markets are its home. You must be an adult, and anyone listed on the French gambling ban register or on the Spanish RGIAJ self-exclusion register will be refused at registration.

Outside France and Spain the picture depends on where you live. Winamax publishes a long list of restricted countries that includes the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, Ukraine, Russia and the US, among others. If your country is not on that list, check the country field of the sign-up form and the terms before assuming you can play.

French site or Spanish site?

Residents of France register on the French site and residents of Spain on the Spanish one. Each licence has its own rules on documents, limits and promotions, but at the tables both groups meet in one shared pool, which is why tournament fields are so large.

Your balance is kept in euros on either site. Choose the version that matches your real residence: the address you type will later be checked against a proof of address, and a mismatch blocks withdrawals.

The sign-up form step by step

On desktop or in the app the sequence is broadly the same:

1. 1Download the client from the official site, or open the app, and press the registration button (Inscription on the French site, Registro on the Spanish one).
2. 2Enter an email address you control, a password and the nickname that will appear at the tables.
3. 3Fill in your legal name, date and place of birth, postal address and mobile number exactly as they appear on your ID.
4. 4Set the deposit limits the form asks for; on the French site this step is compulsory.
5. 5Read and accept the terms, confirm your age, then validate the email Winamax sends you.
6. 6Open your account area and start the identity check right away instead of waiting for your first cash-out.

Limits are part of the form, not an extra

French law obliges licensed operators to ask every new player for deposit limits before play begins, and Spanish rules apply default limits of their own. Pick a weekly figure that matches your entertainment budget rather than the highest number the form accepts.

Lowering a limit usually takes effect immediately, while raising one is delayed by design. That cooling-off period is there to protect you, so think of the first figure as a ceiling you will rarely need to touch.

The provisional account

Until your identity is confirmed, the account stays provisional: you can typically deposit and play, but nothing can be withdrawn. French regulation gives a fixed window, generally 30 days from opening, to send your ID and proof of address, and an account that is never validated can be suspended.

In Spain the operator often confirms identity automatically against official records using your DNI or NIE; if that check fails, documents are requested instead. Either way, finishing verification early means your first payout will not stall.

After the account is open

On the French site the welcome offer pays 70% of your first deposit as five daily bonuses: deposit at least €5, and up to €100 of it counts. The rewards are poker tickets, replayable cash and freebets with no wagering, although the cash part must be played once before it can be withdrawn. The Spanish site runs its own offers, so read the promotions page of your version.
