🇷🇴 ONJN ramps up blacklisting and self-exclusion

Romania’s ONJN says it blocked 300+ unlicensed sites, carried out around 3,500 operator inspections, and recorded 54,000 self-excluded players in the first year under president Vlad-Cristian Soare. It also issued roughly US$268,000 in fines and reported a 98% compliance rate on illegal content removal orders. 📊🚫 Why it matters: Romania is tightening both enforcement and player protection. A draft reform would create a single mandatory self-exclusion system, while ONJN is also procuring biometric and operator-monitoring tech. Add €5m for addiction prevention, and the market is clearly moving towards stricter oversight and smarter regulation. 🛡️💻 Source: ONJN results, via iGaming News Telegram.
