Winamax is headquartered in Paris. In France, it operates under licences No. 003-PO-2010-06-05 and No. 003-PS-2014-05-14 issued by the regulatory authority ARJEL and certificate No. POQ/2018/001 issued by the Directorate General of Gambling Regulation (DGOJ, Spain).

Registration and real money poker is available to users from the EU and the European Economic Area (29 countries). However, this is only the case if the local laws do not prohibit online poker. Therefore, only residents of 12 EFTA ( European Free Trade Area) countries can actually become Winamax customers.

Curiously, if you have confirmed your address in an accepted country, you may be able to play from some restricted locations.

Winamax requires proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement with a recent date, name and personal data. You'll also need to verify your e-mail.
