Romania’s ONJN has convened its Consultative Council for 18 November at 11:00 to discuss gambling reforms, the regulator said. The agenda includes addiction treatment, self-exclusion, illegal online gambling, licence records and a framework for online, fixed-odds and land-based gambling; ONJN has not announced a deadline for the legislative review.
Romania's gambling regulator ONJN has called its Consultative Council together for talks on gambling reforms. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 18 November at 11:00. The agenda also covers gambling licence records for audits and due diligence.
Council members will consider a national gambling addiction treatment programme, the legislative changes it would require and their effects on gambling operations. They will examine how to apply self-exclusion procedures consistently.
The agenda includes combating unlicensed online gambling and establishing methods to record player transactions at traditional venues. ONJN's announcement did not specify what reporting systems or additional obligations might result. ONJN intends to consult on a framework regulation for online gambling, fixed-odds betting and land-based gambling.
ONJN is reviewing national gambling legislation to address outdated rules and sector-wide inconsistencies. The council meeting gives the review a clearer agenda, but the overhaul has no announced deadline. Its legislative working group was assigned to examine and harmonise existing laws. President Valentin-Ioan Tomescu ordered the review after a broader administrative assessment.
