Gambling license in Romania
The attitude to the gambling business in Romania was formed over three decades. During this time, the state issued and edited several significant bills, each of which introduced new procedures for regulating gambling activities. At the moment, there are two bodies in the country that control the casino.
The Ministry of Finance tracks all revenues within physical and virtual gaming structures. The Gambling Commission, established under the Ministry, is directly involved in issuing certificates, and also serves to unite the interests of the state and entrepreneurs.
The following types of gambling are allowed in Romania: ground betting, slot machines, sweepstakes, poker, roulette, bingo, blackjack, and online gambling (Internet rooms), which can host all of the above types of games online.
Each subgroup requires separate licensing. You can officially register a casino with the help of the Law&Trust company. The types of certificates that can be issued with our assistance are indicated below.
License to open a casino in Romania
In Romania, there are three classes of licenses, as well as a series of permissions within some classes for different types of gambling.
Types
-
A Class 1 license and corresponding permissions are permits that must be obtained by a B2C operator in order to offer gambling services in the Romanian market (regardless of whether this applies to land or online gambling);
-
A Class 2 License is required for B2B providers specializing in the gambling industry who supply products/services to B2C operators licensed in Romania. The categories of B2B providers that need to obtain a Class 2 license are:
- manufacturers, distributors, and other organizations operating with the use of gaming facilities or gaming components (note: this type of license of class 2 applies to the on-land sector);
- software providers;
- platform and hosting management service providers;
- online streaming casino providers;
- certification laboratories, auditors and bodies for assessing the compliance of games with the necessary standards;
- payment systems;
- marketing affiliates.
-
A Class 3 license is granted to the National Romanian Lottery, which has a legal monopoly on the organization of all types of lotteries.
-
The opening of a land-based casino is associated with special requirements: the regulation requires at least 10 tables, 4 of which should be reserved for roulette. Regardless of the location of the room, it should have a separate entrance. The venue must comply with all operating standards, including the availability of a restroom for employees, a toilet, all utilities, and so on.
