Hello Tim,
Thank you for your email.
It is now possible to open an account in the .ES client. However, in order to do this, you need to physically be in Spain.
The purpose of the new rule is to allow foreigners, who are on holiday in Spain, to play. Also, you will only be allowed to play for 30 days.
If you have any follow-up questions regarding the same matter, please also include this email in your reply so that we will be able to refer to it.
We hope you have answered your queries but if you have any further questions, please let us now.
Regards,
Anke

Hello Karsten,
Thank you for your query.
Due to the recent changes in French and Spanish law that allow players from both countries to share the same player pool, we are now allowing customers with Stars Accounts on the .EU and .COM platform to create a new account on the .ES platform.
Even if you have an existing real money .EU or .COM account and wish to play at the .ES license, you will be able to create a .ES account, which will need to be verified in accordance with ES regulations. This simple process requires you to send us documentation of your identity and your mailing address within 30 days. In order to validate your account, you will need to provide:
- A clear copy of the front and back of your government-issued photo ID (national ID card, passport or driver's license)
- A clear copy of a utility bill that shows your full name and complete mailing address (landline telephone, gas, electricity, Internet bill, or bank statement)
Please be aware that you will be unable to transfer any balances to or from an account belonging to another license.
Should you have any further questions on playing on our .ES license, do not hesitate to contact us back.
Regards,
