On October 31, the Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN) officially blacklisted the prediction platform Polymarket, citing the reason for providing betting services in Romania without a legal license. According to ONJN, all types of contracts or bets — whether using fiat or cryptocurrency — are considered forms of gambling under Romanian law and are required to have a license.
This decision is part of ONJN's efforts to enhance oversight of online gambling services and those related to cryptocurrency, ensuring regulatory compliance and consumer protection. The blacklisting of Polymarket aims to prevent unlicensed operators from accessing Romanian users and asserts that digital prediction platforms are also subject to regulation like traditional forms of gambling.
