SoftGamings’ Platform Gets Certification of Compliance With Standards of Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN)
SoftGamings’ platform receives certification of compliance with the standards of the Romanian gambling regulator ONJN.
SoftGamings, the industry’s leading casino aggregator and software provider, has received certification of compliance with Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN) standards, paving the way for the company to extend its presence in the global market.
The company’s award-winning platform now possesses a certificate of compliance with the standards established by the ONJN, confirming SoftGamings’ dedication to proving its product is capable of meeting the highest industry standards in all leading jurisdictions.
The certification was the next step after securing a B2B license (Class 2) from ONJN in November 2022, allowing SoftGamings to roll out its platform across Romania’s entire regulated market and provide it to all ONJN-licensed operators and those who plan to obtain the said license.
Moreover, the certification confirms integration testing of the top-tier game content providers (present in Romania with their B2B licences), meaning the green light to provide ONJN-licensed operators with all available content through one-stop-shop integration (instead of multiple integrations with each game provider).
Romania mandates that all suppliers and operators must obtain the required licenses and certifications to offer their products and services to businesses and customers in the country. Strict vetting procedures precede the issuance of such certificates, and by passing those procedures, SoftGamings’ platform has earned the label of fair and safe for both operators and users.
Forging partnerships with licensed operators in Romania and delivering industry-leading casino software solutions is the next item on SoftGamings’ agenda.
Anna Lalina, Head of Partnerships at SoftGamings, said: “The new certification our platform received is congruent with our company’s strategy of establishing a visible and permanent presence in the markets of Eastern Europe. With this certification of compliance in the books, we can now address multiple cooperation requests from Romanian operators and bring turnkey and other casino software solutions to this budding market.
Each time we receive certification for our software, it’s an important milestone for the company. It gives us the much-needed assurance that our solutions have what it takes to compete with the best of them, in any given market, especially in fiercely competitive ones, such as the one in Romania.“

“At Vixio, we’ve always prioritised listening to our customers, and the launch of our Technical Compliance Tool is a direct response to their needs,” explained Mike Woolfrey, CEO, Vixio. “We understand the complexity and urgency of staying compliant in a rapidly evolving industry, and this Technical Compliance Tool will help our customers accomplish that simpler and quicker than ever before.”
The long-awaited launch of the Technical Compliance Tool comes as a result of customer feedback for a one-stop solution for technical requirements in the online casino industry. Online casino suppliers are seeking to capitalise on opportunities to enter newly regulated markets across multiple regions and speed up new game development while balancing an increasing burden on compliance teams to ensure product and regulatory compliance. Regulations and technical requirements vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and with speed-to-market of paramount importance, compliance teams face increasing pressure to act quickly whilst avoiding errors.
“With our Technical Compliance Tool, we’re providing a solution that empowers our customers to confidently expand into new markets, knowing they have the most up-to-date and comprehensive regulatory intelligence at their fingertips,” said James Kilsby, Chief Analyst, Vixio.
Kilsby continued, “The technical compliance landscape for online casino games has become significantly more complex in recent years as European regulators have imposed stricter requirements on game design at the same time that North and Latin American markets have offered significant new opportunities for suppliers and operators to grow their businesses. The Vixio Technical Compliance Tool ensures compliance teams can continue to meet these two challenges.”
Providing a comparative view of over 65 of the most critical technical requirements that impact the development, deployment and certification of online casino games across the world’s largest and strategically important regulated markets, with source references in their original language and English translations, the tool initially covers regulations for 26 jurisdictions in Europe, North America and Latin America, including Brazil.
The Technical Compliance Tool will sit within Vixio’s flagship platform, GamblingCompliance. Vixio GamblingCompliance is trusted by leading gambling brands for insights into specific requirements in 180+ jurisdictions to stay current with the ever-evolving gambling regulatory landscape and support strategic growth objectives.
