6. Games from Leading Software Providers

Whenever you play a real money casino game online, you will be accessing a product made by one of the many software developers on the market. In general, the games are not made by the casinos themselves. Instead, they pay to include the games on their sites.

The most famous and celebrated providers include Dragonfish, Merkur and Quickspin. However, you can expect each Romania online casino to house products from multiple companies.

In general, there are fewer games designed for mobile than for desktop, meaning that mobile casinos still have smaller selections than their desktop counterparts. However, in our experience, more and more developers are now creating their products with various different devices in mind.

It has been a long and thorny path to the regulated online gambling market in Romania. Even though it was legalized by the Government in 2009, it took seven years more to get the whole concept to work if not at full then at least at relatively solid capacity.

Various games of chance have always been popular in this EU state most widely known for its forested region of Transylvania, which was once home to ferocious Count Dracula.

Loteria Romana...

...the country's national lottery, was created as far back as in 1906 as a response to the growing public interest in this type of entertainment.

Intended to put an end to the need of visiting neighbors and taking part in their lotteries, the new institution was also a great support to numerous charitable and cultural projects.

Besides assisting musicians and writers, it was involved in collecting money for historic landmarks such as the Saint Joseph Catholic Cathedral in Bucharest, Romanian Athenaeum, and the Romanian Cultural League.

Suffering from multiple difficulties and limitations during the Communist era, Loteria Romana is still going strong today and gets along with the innovative forms of web-based gaming, which is definitely gaining momentum.

Established in 2013 to be in charge of all gambling-related activities across the country, the National Gambling Office is the only licensing and regulating authority that monitors all legal operators and compiles a blacklist of unlicensed websites.

Romanian Casino License and Regulation 📔

The Romania National Gambling Office is responsible for making sure that online casinos based in the country are appropriately licensed. Offshore providers can also apply for a Romanian casino license and pay the respective fees, giving Romanian players a choice of the best Romania online casinos.

If you want to check whether a casino is legit or is a casino without a Romanian license, you can take a look on the local authority’s website for a list of banned betting platforms and those that are legal and reputable.

While it’s safe and easy enough to play at Romanian casinos, the country has instructed local banks to block transactions associated with blacklisted platforms. So, keep in mind that if you do want to play online Romania casino games, you might have a few obstacles when it comes to local payments.

Cazin Kursaal (1880–1891)[edit]

The first version of the Constanța Casino was built of wood frame in 1880 and was named Cazin or Kursaal (“spa hall” in German).[3] It was the first Romanian building to be built on the shore of the Black Sea shortly after Northern Dobruja came under Romanian administration as a result of the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) and the Romanian War of Independence.[citation needed]

The building utilized slopes to create two rounded overlapping terraces with the purpose of providing a full view of the cliff, the sea and the Constanța harbor from all angles. It was situated adjacent to the Genoese Lighthouse. The interior held a ballroom, two games halls and two reading halls, where visitors could read local, national and international press. Initially, the City of Constanța leased and rented the building and space to entrepreneurs. One of those casino entrepreneurs was Captain Constantin Creangă, son of writer Ion Creangă and father of Horia Creangă, the leading Romanian architect during the interwar period. Shortly after the building was transferred and administered by the County Council which opened it up for use. Finding that the building merely produced enough income to cover maintenance, it was again leased out to wealthy entrepreneurs.[citation needed] In 1891, the wood structured Cazinoul din Constanța was almost entirely destroyed by a storm and on January 29, 1892 its demolition was approved..[3]

Banking methods

Another important issue of concern. Reputable Romanian casinos provide their players with a reliable list of payment methods including bank cards, e-wallets, and popular payment systems like PayPal, Neteller or Skrill. You can always check all available methods of payment in the special section of the site.

Some transactions, depending on a banking method, are processed instantly while others may take 20 minutes or even a week and longer – the latter refers to credit and debit cards. Always read terms and conditions to save yourself from getting nervous while waiting for money. Obtaining basic information by a gambler is a golden rule.

Romanian gambling sites are all regularly checked by the authorities. The special committee ensures availability of licenses, observance of underage gambling rules, and other important aspects. The gambling reality of the country faces changes rather often, so do not be surprised if certain rules become stricter or get cancelled.

Overview

The Romanian primary gambling legislation (Government Emergency Ordinance No. 77/2009 on the organisation and operation of games of chance, as subsequently amended and supplemented), defines the following gambling products:

1. Lottery – a game of chance that depends on the random outcome of events consisting of the drawing of numbers, letters, tickets or symbols, regardless of the procedure used and characteristics of the means used to make the draw (drums, wheels, cups and other similar equipment), which can be organised (in case of land-based activity) with or without the players being physically present. In relation to lottery games, the legislation sets forth the rule that both land-based lottery games and online lottery games are under the state monopoly and can be organised only by the Romanian state company, Loteria Română.
2. Betting – a game of chance where the participant must indicate the results of future events or where the results are randomly generated by an independent IT system. The legislation expressly regulates three categories of betting: (1) fixed-odds betting (e.g., sports betting), (2) mutual betting and (3) exchange betting, which can be licensed and authorised as land-based or online gambling.
3. Casino games – games of chance that make use of specific gaming equipment such as cards, roulettes, dice and gaming tables. A particularity of online casino games is that this category also includes online poker games and online slot machine games, thus permitting the licensed gambling operator for online casino to also offer poker and slot machine gaming on its gaming platform.
4. Poker – a game of chance with 'poker' playing cards, which is – in case of land-based activities – performed exclusively between the participants in specialised locations.
5. Land-based slot machine gaming – defined by reference to one of the following three categories:
   • slot machine games with unlimited stakes and winnings played via specific machines or equipment, with the players being physically present, operated in specialised premises where gambling takes place;
   • games played via electronic devices that offer limited risk winnings (known in the industry as 'amusement with price' (AWP) machines), with the players being physically present, but that cannot be placed in specialised gambling premises; and
   • video lottery games, where the players are physically present and for which the gaming equipment must be connected to a central server running the gaming programme, and that validates the win.

• Bingo games – games of chance defined by reference to the means used in performing the activity:
  • bingo games played in gaming rooms with the winnings generated by random elements that use lottery-type draw equipment and with the players physically present on the premises;
  • bingo games organised via television networks, with the players not being physically present at the time of the draw; and
  • online bingo games, which are played entirely without the players being physically present, and that are organised and transmitted via any communication system.
• Keno games – games of chance only regulated as online gambling activities, which are included in the category of online bingo and keno games.
• Tombola – the activity of drawing numbers, letters or other symbols, regardless of the characteristics of the mechanical, electronic, digital or video devices used to make the draw, whereby players (physically present or not) may win prizes only in kind, where the value of the prizes must have a minimum value of no lower than 50 per cent of the total value of the stakes paid to participate in the game. Tombola games may be organised both as land-based or online activity.
• Temporary games – land-based casino games, slot machine games with unlimited winnings and traditional bingo that takes place in tourist resorts or on leisure crafts qualify as temporary games of chance, and are subject to a special temporary licence and authorisation valid for a period of three months.

A distinct category of temporary games exists for poker festivals that are defined by the law as temporary events organised in tourist resorts or other locations, which consist of poker tournaments performed exclusively between the participants. Poker festivals may be organised only by operators that hold a valid licence and authorisation in this respect.

In addition to the above categories expressly defined by the legislation, any other unregulated product that fulfils the conditions of a game of chance (consideration, chance and prize, further to a public offer) is also subject to the licensing requirement, since the Romanian regulator is legally competent to analyse such product and determine the category in which the product should be included. This analysis is performed on the basis of a request filed by the operator of the unregulated gambling product with the Romanian regulator, where the game rules and description of the product must be attached to the request.

The legislation does not make any reference to products such as fantasy league, pool betting or spread betting. It is, however, expressly provided that 'fun games which do not imply winnings based on random elements, but have the purpose to test the force, intelligence or skills of the participant' as well as 'sport games, which are not mainly based on hazard and imply skills and knowledge' are not considered gambling products, and are permitted without a licence and authorisation.

As to what concerns derivative financial products, while the gambling legislation does not make any reference to this matter, the Romanian gambling regulator represented in an individual context that binary options as well as other types of secondary financial instruments that are expressly provided within the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive cannot be included on gambling platforms.

Gambling is generally permitted in Romania, provided that the required licences and authorisations are obtained, and the applicable legal provisions are observed in the course of business. Gambling is legally allowed in Romania in both its land-based and online forms.

As a matter of principle, the very first Article of the primary gambling legislation sets forth that organisation and operation of gambling in Romania represents a state monopoly and may be performed only within the specific legal parameters imposed by the gambling regulation.

However, the legislation creates a legal framework where any private operator that fulfils the requirements provided by the law is able to apply for a licence and authorisation in order to conduct gambling activities in Romania. Currently, the criteria and conditions according to which the licences are granted could not be considered as leading to an oligopoly or monopoly situation.

An exception exists in relation to lottery games. The legislation in force establishes the principle according to which both land-based and online lottery games can be organised only by Loteria Română, thus representing a state monopoly.

The Romanian gambling legislation expressly provides that the licence and authorisation granted to a certain operator allows that operator to conduct its activity on a national level, without the need to obtain approvals, authorisations or licences from public authorities other than the Romanian gambling regulator. This provision imposes, however, a notification obligation on local authorities, which means that the operator is bound to inform the local municipality in advance about the commencement of gambling activities in that specific area.

In accordance with the legislation in force, only operators based in the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) or Swiss Confederation may apply for and obtain the necessary licence and authorisation in order to provide gambling services in Romania.

A situation in which a foreign economic operator provides gambling services in Romania without holding the relevant licence and authorisation issued by the Romanian regulator is explicitly regulated by the legislation as a criminal offence sanctioned by imprisonment from one month up to one year or by a fine. Additional sanctions are also expressly provided in the legislation for a legal entity that offers unlicensed gambling services in Romania: the entity shall be dissolved and the amounts derived from the unlawful activity shall be confiscated.

As a separate tool to control and prevent unlicensed activities, the Romanian regulator manages the 'blacklist' of unlicensed gambling websites. This list currently comprises over 1,000 internet domain names. In this regard, the legislation also sets forth that internet service providers (ISPs) as well as all service suppliers for the gambling industry, including payment processors, are bound to comply with the decisions taken by the regulator. Specific reference is made to ISPs that are required to ban access to the blacklisted websites (as well as to those websites promoting unlicensed gambling) under the sanction of a fine ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 lei.

The number of Romanian bingo sites keeps on growing each day, as well as players’ interest in playing online bingo. Online bingo is legal in Romania and players can freely choose the online bingo sites they want to play in.

There are plenty of online bingo sites that offer players safety, fairness, a wide range of games and bonuses.

Romanian players get to enjoy the whole gaming package of splendid 75-ball and 90-ball bingo games and pretty attractive promotions.

However, if you are interested in the best-ranked bingo sites in Romania, we offer a great list of the most popular ones, which provide an experience you won’t regret.
