Where to play poker online in Romania
The ONJN-licensed online poker rooms, every operator authorised in Romania, and how to check a licence yourself.
Gambling is for adults only and can be addictive. Only play with money you can afford to lose. If you feel you are losing control, call the free Romanian helpline 0800 800 099 (Asociația Joc Responsabil) or read our guide to responsible gambling.
In Romania, online gambling is legal only with operators licensed by the National Gambling Office (ONJN). Unlicensed sites are put on ONJN's blacklist and blocked, and your money has no protection there. This page lists only operators whose licence we could check.
ONJN-licensed online poker rooms
Romania does not issue a separate poker licence: poker falls under casino-type games. Among the licensed operators, these run a real-money poker room open to players in Romania:
888poker
18+- Games

Both are part of large international networks, so you play against people from many countries, not just Romania. That means busy tables at any hour and tournaments with large guaranteed prizes.
Which to choose
- New to poker? Both have small stakes and free tournaments (freerolls). Start wherever the app feels clearer on your phone.
- Want big tournaments? GGPoker (PlayGG) hosts the WSOP online series and the GGMasters.
- Mostly on your phone? Both have apps; try each at the smallest stakes before depositing more.
Before you play for money, read bankroll management: it is the best way to never lose more than you planned.

Two licences on ONJN's list showed as expired on the day we checked (Level Up Interactive, and TSG Interactive, the operator of PokerStars.ro), with no published renewal, so we leave them out until the renewal appears on ONJN's site.
How to check a licence yourself
- Go to onjn.gov.ro and open the list of Class I licensed operators.
- Search for the company name in the footer of the site you want to play on (not just the brand).
- Check the licence's expiry date, and that the site's domain is listed against that operator.
- If you cannot find the operator, do not play there. A site that says it works "with licensed suppliers" does not have an operator licence because of that.
What a licence guarantees
- Player funds are kept separate from the operator's own money.
- Your identity is verified, which keeps minors out.
- You get deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion.
- Winnings are paid under published rules, and ONJN can step in.
