Internet-gambling authorisation
The JCJ internet-gambling regulation requires an administration and operation contract issued through the Panamanian authority. A foreign licence does not by itself authorise supply in Panama.

Market profile
Junta de Control de Juegos (JCJ)
Panama’s Junta de Control de Juegos authorises and supervises land-based and internet gambling. Its current public page explains the framework and player-protection controls but does not expose a current brand-level operator directory. Older official material links Betcris and Codere-related entities to Panamanian operations, so both historical Atlas relationships remain under review pending current evidence.
