Boldplay Secures Romanian Gaming Licence

Boldplay, the rapidly expanding casino software provider known for its multi-channel solutions and in-play jackpots, has announced that it has received approval from Romania’s Oficiul National pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN) that will allow it to offer its services at all online platforms licensed in the country.
Following hot on the heels of the company gaining approval from the Gibraltar Licensing Authority, the news represents Boldplay’s second market licence acquisition in as many months – with these endorsements sitting alongside previous game certification in the UK, Malta, Portugal and Isle of Man.
As a result of getting the go-ahead from the ONJN, Boldplay now finds itself well-positioned for entry into the Romanian market, where it will now be able to partner with regulated operators to offers its growing collection of 80+ slots, table games, bingo/keno options and scratch cards to players.
From both a client and customer perspective, the news certainly couldn’t have come at a better time, with Boldplay having rolled out two of its most ambitious releases to date in the form of Cyborg City and Warriors & Warlocks. With each of these titles boasting cutting-edge design and company-first features such as dual reels and unlockable upgrades, Romanian players will now have access to the hottest new Boldplay releases as well as the studio’s existing jackpots and bonuses.
Having recently been very active in terms of teaming up with aggregators such as Games Global, Slotegrator and EveryMatrix, Boldplay’s ONJN licence will open a lot of doors for the company when it comes to finding new potential partners in Romania.
Valli Fragoso, CEO of Boldplay, said: “Boldplay’s acquisition of a Romanian gaming licence from the ONJN is another significant step for our company and a key part of our future expansion plans. Sitting alongside our existing licensing from the GLA, this latest certification will enable us to forge new relationships with regulated operators and allow us to introduce our games in what is an exciting and rapidly developing market.”
