A recent legislative proposal may introduce a maximum limit on the amounts that players can spend on gambling. According to the draft law, they will not be able to deposit more than 10% of the previous month’s income into gambling operator accounts, whether playing online or in physical gambling halls.
Who Ensures Compliance with the Limit?
For online gambling, banks managing players’ accounts will be responsible for ensuring that the set limit is not exceeded.
For physical gambling halls, operators will be responsible for monitoring the amounts wagered by each player.
The Role of ANAF
ANAF will develop a platform that allows operators to verify the available balance of each player based on the imposed limit.
Gambling halls will be required to report in real time to ANAF the amounts spent by each player.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
🔹 For online gambling sites, banks that fail to enforce the rule may face fines of up to 1% of their annual turnover.
🔹 For gambling halls, fines can reach 500,000 RON. Repeated violations may result in operators losing their licenses.
The National Gambling Office and ANAF will work together to monitor compliance with these rules and enforce sanctions.
This measure aims to reduce gambling-related risks and protect players from excessive spending.
