Unibet Poker Romania: ONJN licence L1260657W001792, read off the site itself
Romania is one of the easier markets to be precise about, because the regulator requires operators to print their licence details on the page. Unibet's Romanian site does exactly that, and the notice is specific enough to check against the ONJN's own register.
The licence is 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, valid from 1 September 2026 until 31 August 2036.

What the licence is, and who holds it
The holder is a Maltese company, Unibet (Germany) Limited, operating in Romania under a Romanian remote licence rather than under its Maltese one. That distinction is the whole point of the Romanian regime: an operator needs its own ONJN remote gambling licence to offer poker to Romanian players legally, whatever other licences it holds elsewhere. Unibet's Romanian footer also lists UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority licences, and the group's position is that those three authorisations stand behind the legality of its services.
The ONJN sits under the Ministry of Finance. Its Supervisory Committee issues the licences, it publishes the licensed-operator lists monthly, and it runs a national self-exclusion register. Because the lists are republished every month, a licence is one of the few facts about an online room that can actually be verified from a primary source on any given day.
What the Romanian poker offer looks like
Unibet runs a full poker section on the Romanian site: cash tables, a published tournament schedule, the Unibet Open live festival, the room's poker loyalty programme, a set of strategy guides and a poker promotions page with its own welcome offer. Any bonus terms should be read on the operator's page before you opt in — the headline figure is never the whole condition.
Unibet Poker's design has long leaned towards recreational players rather than high-volume regulars, with anonymous tables and a prohibition on tracking software described on the group's other national sites. That is a feature if you are a casual player and a drawback if you grind.
Tax, age and the things worth checking
The minimum age is 18, online and in licensed venues. Gambling winnings are taxable in Romania and the operator withholds at source under the Fiscal Code; the bands have been revised more than once in recent years, so confirm the current figures with ANAF rather than with any summary, including this one.
For live poker, Romania's licensed club poker is a single licence holder, POKER TM S.R.L., covering three rooms in Bucharest, Iași and Craiova — the online room and the live scene are much further apart here than in most European markets.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice. The licence details above were read on Unibet's Romanian site on 15 October 2026.
