EGBA Presses for Implementation of National Self-Exclusion Measures in Romania

Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA, recently spoke with Antena 3, one of Romania’s leading news channels about safer gambling in Romania.
In the interview, Maarten outlined our recommendation that Romania establishes a national self-exclusion register for gambling—a crucial player protection measure already implemented in 17 EU member states. The interview was conducted at a recent event held at the Romanian Parliament organised by the Romanian online gambling association (AOJND).
EGBA’s recommendations for Romania
At that meeting, EGBA underlined its recommendation that Romania introduces a comprehensive gambling self-exclusion framework, and recommended that the system should:
- Apply to all licensees (land-based and online gambling operators).
- Be accessible through a user-friendly, GDPR-compliant, government website.
- Be clearly communicated and made accessible via gambling platforms.
- Apply in real-time and be fail proof.
- Have clear minimum and maximum time periods for the self-exclusion duration.
- Ensure registered players receive information on where to seek support.
- Require operators to remove self-excluded players from marketing databases.
Establishing a self-exclusion framework based on these European best practices would provide a crucial safety net for Romanian players.
