Romania Gambling Tax Changes Reflect a Sense of Reality
Key Takeaways
  • Under the new Romanian tax proposals, online operators will have to pay a tax of 0.1% for every hand played. In effect taxes on operators will go up, but direct taxes on Romanian gamblers should reduce.
  • State regulator ONJN will create and maintain a blacklist of online operators who are nether owned by a Romanian company or regulated by the ONJN.

A meeting with fellow industry professional in Bucharest gave Romania’s President of the National Gambling Office (ONJN), Odeta Nestor, an opportunity to discuss her plans to modernize regulation, and she also hinted at possible tax changes.
