Unibet's Romanian poker licence now runs to 2036
Unibet's Romanian site publishes a remote gambling licence from the ONJN Supervisory Committee that began on 1 September 2026 and runs until 31 August 2036 — a full ten-year term for the Maltese company behind the Romanian poker lobby.
Romania requires online operators to print their licence details where players can read them, and Unibet's Romanian site now carries a notably long-dated one.
The notice names licence number L1260657W001792, issued by the Supervisory Committee of the Oficiul Naţional pentru Jocuri de Noroc to Unibet (Germany) Limited, Level 6, The Centre, Tigne Point, Sliema, Malta. Its stated validity runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2036.
Two things are worth drawing out. The first is the term: ten years is at the long end for a remote licence, and it was issued six weeks before we read it, so the Romanian poker offer is not a licence due for renewal any time soon. The second is the holder. The licence is held by a Maltese company operating under a Romanian authorisation rather than under its Maltese one — which is how the Romanian regime is designed to work. An operator needs its own ONJN remote licence to serve Romanian players, whatever it holds elsewhere. The same footer separately lists UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority licences.
The Romanian site runs a full poker section behind that licence: cash tables, a published tournament schedule, the Unibet Open live festival, a poker loyalty programme and a poker welcome offer whose terms, as always, repay reading on the operator's own page before opting in.
For Romanian players the practical value is verifiability. The ONJN republishes its licensed-operator lists monthly, so a licence number printed on a site is one of the few claims about an online room that can be checked against a primary source on any given day. This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
