Romanian law currently neither allows, nor bans trans-border online games, but forbids Romania-registered companies from organizing online games.
The new rules allow gambling to be organized in Romania by phone or through the Internet. Such companies are required to pay the state 10% of their earnings, but no less than 400,000 lei (EUR93,000), if they run a bingo game, or 5% of their earnings, but no less than RON250,000, if they take bets.
Other forms of gambling are subject to a tax of 1.5% of the earnings, but no less than RON400,000.
The act also says bingo games held online or via phone must award at least 60% and a maximum of 80% of their gross receipts, with the exception of games awarding special prizes, where only the minimum level shall apply.
To enter force, these new rules must be adopted by the Parliament.
