Panama
Regulated 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.

Brand status
| Brand | House | Status | Products | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Betcris | Betcris Global | Under Review | Sports Betting, Casino | The official list identifies Minos, S.A. (Betcris) among sports-betting locations, but it is a 2020 land-based snapshot. The current JCJ page does not publish a brand-level operator directory, so Atlas cannot verify the former broad current licence claim. |
| Codere | Codere Group | Under Review | Sports Betting, Casino | The official article links Codere to Hípica de Panamá, S.A., but it does not verify the full sportsbook-and-casino relationship or a current online authorisation. No current public JCJ brand directory was available. |
