According to the company, the accounts of Romanian players registered with William Hill were suspended as of June 2, 2015 but players can check their account and withdraw any outstanding balance that they might have.
William Hill said the decision was triggered by the new online gambling regulation program in Romania, in a move to improve the local economy.
According to onlinecasinoreports website, the new laws were also the main reason that prompted the withdrawal of another major UK gambling operator from the country, Ladbrokes, early this year.
However, finalized information regarding Romania’s laws, fees and taxes under the new regulatory reality has not been clearly established, thus big operators like Hill and Ladbrokes might return to the Romanian market once the legislative framework is in place, onlinecasinoreports notes.
