🇷🇴 Online Gambling in Romania

Regulation in Romania

Romania introduced online gambling regulation in 2015. ONJN (Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc) is the regulator. The market is open to private operators who meet licensing requirements, and has grown rapidly since regulation.

Operators pay a 2% tax on gross gaming revenue — one of the lowest rates in Europe, which has attracted significant international investment. Players pay no tax on winnings.

ONJN requires licensed operators to offer responsible gambling tools, connect to the national self-exclusion register and display their licence prominently.

Romania has a strong and growing online casino market. Major international operators including Bet365, 888 Casino, Unibet and LeoVegas all hold ONJN licences.
