Romanian lawmakers tighten rules for suppliers serving unlicensed gambling platforms
Romania’s lawmakers approved amendments that immediately strengthen controls on unlicensed gambling and expand oversight of B2B providers. Suppliers must block access when Romanian players are identified on unlicensed platforms and notify the operator; from January 2026, slot machines and VLT terminals must have integrated geolocation systems.
Licensed suppliers face new blocking and notification duties, while non-compliance can bring criminal penalties and licence consequences.
