Romania – PokerStars and BetStars approved for Romania

Rational Group has been approved for a long-term licence to continue to operate in the Romanian market by the country’s National Office for Gaming (ONJN).

Amaya brands PokerStars and BetStars will continue to be available in Romania, while Full Tilt will no longer be available in the country to comply with regulatory requirements.

Amaya Vice-President of Corporate Communications, Eric Hollreiser, said: “We are very happy to offer the world’s leading poker and sports betting brands to Romanians under a local regulatory framework. This demonstrates Amaya’s commitment to the responsible growth of online gambling by supporting local regulation that is good for players, good for operators, and provides revenue for regulators.”
