Gambling and sports betting: what you need to know

Restrictions and conditions for betting and gambling activities on your Shine account

Gambling, sports betting and similar activities are not permitted as a primary activity at Shine.

We invite you to use your personal account for these transactions

Bets involving very small sums placed with the National Lottery and state-authorised sites are tolerated, provided that:

  • The amounts are particularly small in relation to the company’s business

  • This does not constitute a regular activity

  • The company directly manages the reconciliation and recording of these amounts with its chartered accountant; Shine does not provide any guidance on this

  • Any payment of winnings exceeding €200 is accompanied by supporting documentation

We nevertheless encourage you to use your personal account for this type of transaction.

⚠️ If your account is open and the rules set out above are not complied with, we may be obliged to close it.
