Romania requires licensed suppliers to block access to unauthorised gambling platforms
Romania’s legislature approved amendments that immediately restrict licensed B2B gambling providers from serving unlicensed operators meeting specified criteria, including offering Romanian-language games and access to players in Romania. Providers must block access when Romanian players are detected on unauthorised platforms and notify the operator; from January 2026, slot machines and VLTs must also have integrated geolocation systems.
The amendments add immediate blocking duties and criminal and licensing risks for B2B providers serving Romania’s gambling market.
