• In order to be able to play casino games for free, you simply need to meet the age requirement to create an account at whatever casino you'd like to sample. In most cases, this age is just 18 years old. This age differs from the normal gambling age because casinos that accept USA players typically default to the higher age between the legal.

The easiest way to tell the age of a deck of cards is probably by the back design, and a general knowledge of what has been produced in which eras. It must also be kept in mind that the same designs were sometimes discontinued and then reintroduced at a later date. This can give you a clue as to when they were made.

Complaints procedure
Portuguese Advertising Code, statutory:

Portugal Gambling Age Requirement

The Advertising Regulatory Commission (CACMP) is responsible for investigating alleged violations of the advertising regulations and imposing sanctions in Portugal. In cases of misleading advertising or where it is dangerous to health or consumer safety, it can order cessation or suspension of an advertisement. Its decisions are subject to judicial review. Complaints are heard by the Permanent Commission for the Monitoring of the Code of Good Practices of Commercial Communications of Alcoholic Beverages, which is made up of representatives drawn from the beer, wine and spirits industry, advertising agencies and media. There are no public reports to date of the action of these bodies and more importantly there is no report about complaints, handling of complaints and there is no information on how to and by whom a complaint can be presented.

Portuguese casino revenue has yet to fully recover from the impact of the global financial crisis, having fallen from a peak of €386m in 2008 to €309m in 2017, the most recent year for which data is available.

Land-based casinos in Portugal are restricted to specific gambling zones: Açores, Algarve, Espinho, Estoril, Figueira da Foz, Funchal, Porto Santo, Póvoa de Varzim, Troia and Vidago-Pedras Salgadas.

There are 12 casinos and one gaming room in operation in Portugal

Casinos can offer table games, including baccarat, blackjack/21, craps, cussec, American and French roulette and poker games.

Portugal Gambling Age Rules

The government may authorise other forms of games of chance at the request of existing operators, but the SRIJ must provide an opinion of the proposed activity. Casinos can also only use gambling material that has been previously authorised by the SRIJ.

Land-based poker is only allowed within casinos, either in cash games or tournaments, as it is considered a game of chance in Portugal.

Portugal’s gambling regulator, the Regulation and Inspection Service of Games (SRIJ), is a component of the Tourism Office.

Aside from casinos, the gambling market in Portugal is dominated by Santa Casa, an historic charitable organisation which holds a monopoly over lottery games, land-based betting on sports and horseracing.

A liberalised online gambling market was introduced in May 2016, but has faced challenges due in large part to a tough tax regime, with online casinos taxed at a variable rate of 15-30 percent of GGR, but is now worth roughly 4 percent of market-wide GGR.

Portugal Gambling Age Limit

It was confirmed in October 2018 that initiatives to soften Portugal’s online gambling tax regime, through a consolidation of online gambling tax at 25 percent of GGR, were to be excluded at the last minute from the 2019 Budget

A working group set up to analyse potential tax changes in Portugal was then due to report in February, 2019, but failed to publish any findings.
