The online gambling market in Romania is experiencing transformation driven by digital growth and stricter regulatory frameworks. The National Gambling Office (ONJN) and the Financial Supervisory Authority are responsible for granting and monitoring licenses to establish a legal framework intended to protect players from fraud and illegal operators. This regulatory oversight aims to eliminate dishonest entities, contributing to increased public trust in the industry’s legality and safety standards.
