What the rule actually is in Romania
Our own reading, not a summary of someone else's
ONJN-licensed, and the economics changed hard on 1 August 2025 when Law 141/2025 lifted the annual authorisation tax from 21% of GGR to 30%, with a floor of EUR480,000 a year, on top of a EUR300,000 annual licence tax. The payment rules are what make Romania unusual: a payment processor must itself hold a Romanian Class 2 licence and player funds must sit in Romanian-domiciled bank accounts, so local acquiring is a legal requirement rather than an optimisation and an offshore aggregator simply cannot serve the regulated market. More than 1,500 offshore domains are ISP-blocked.

Evidence grades run from named clients through platform catalogs and industry knowledge down to a provider's own claim. A claim we could not corroborate is still shown, labelled as what it is. See our methodology.
