Who Can Play Online Casinos in Romania?

Adults only: 18 and over

Article 7 of OUG 77/2009 defines a participant as at least 18 years old and legally entitled to take part. The remote-platform rules require an express prohibition for under-18s.

Location, residence and permission

The applicable Romanian authorisation and your circumstances both matter. A foreign licence, a Romanian-language homepage or a successful deposit does not settle eligibility. Eligibility depends on your location, identity and the operator’s requirements.

The remote-account rules distinguish information about citizenship, tax residence and account identity. Ask the operator to clarify its documented requirements before sharing documents or funds. Start with licence verification.

Expect identity and account checks

• Use your own accurate details and the account permitted by the operator’s rules.
• Expect identity verification before withdrawal and possible additional checks.
• Use an eligible payment account in your own name; ask about the return-payment route.
• Do not send identity documents to this information website.

HG 111/2016 articles 129–130 cover registration, a unique account and verification. Gambling providers also have obligations under the anti-money-laundering framework. Read the payment guide.

Exclusion and account restrictions

Self-exclusion, a cooling-off period or another applicable restriction is a reason to stop, not find another route into a game. The operator’s eligibility checks remain relevant even where its licence is valid.

Use self-exclusion and support routes if you want to stop. If an account decision is disputed, keep the evidence and follow the complaint process.
