Portugal has issued its fourth online gambling license, although the lucky recipient wasn’t exactly a new face.

Last Friday, national gambling regulator Serviço Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos do Turismo de Portugal (SRIJ) announced it had issued an online casino license to BEM Operations Ltd, aka the local subsidiary of French betting operator Betclic Everest Group, which operates in Portugal via the Betclic.pt domain.

Betclic already had a Portuguese online sports betting license, having become the very first operator that the SRIJ deemed sponge-worthy following the launch of the new regulated market in late April.

Portugal now has two licensed sports betting operators (the other being Malta-based Bet Entertainment Technologies) and two online casinos (the other being local land-based casino operator Estoril Sol).
