The new legislation imposes specific bans on gaming halls in localities with a population of less than 15,000 inhabitants.

In an attempt to combat gambling addiction.

According to the new law, gambling operators must obtain a certificate from local municipalities.

Certifying that the gaming hall is located in an area with sufficient population.

The law also stipulates severe fines.

Which can reach up to 200,000 lei, for those who violate the provisions.

Along with fines, other sanctions may apply.

Such as confiscation of illegal income and cancellation of operating license.

Despite these measures, critics of the law argue that it will not have a significant impact in major cities.

Where gambling addiction is more pronounced.

In addition to these local restrictions, the law also introduces the obligation for companies in the field to have their headquarters in Romania.

And to maintain a daily updated public register of all licensed operators, accessible online.

These measures complement the recent emergency ordinance aimed at better regulation of the gambling industry in Romania.

The authorities hope that through these initiatives they will be able to reduce the prevalence of gambling among the population.

And they will combat the addiction phenomenon more effectively.
