How winnings are taxed in Romania
Yes, gambling winnings are taxed in Romania — but at ONJN-licensed operators you don't file anything for standard withdrawals: tax is withheld at source, meaning the operator deducts it automatically and remits it to the state. Your statement shows the net amount.
How the brackets work
The tax is progressive per withdrawal: a small rate on small amounts, higher rates on the portions above set thresholds. Exact rates and thresholds change through legislation — before a large withdrawal, check the current schedule on ANAF's site or ask the operator's support for the exact deduction.
Practical implications
- Splitting withdrawals isn't optimisation. Aggressive fragmentation can trigger KYC/AML questions — the cost outweighs the benefit.
- Bonuses aren't exempt: free-spin winnings are taxed at withdrawal like any other win.
- Unlicensed operators withhold nothing — the tax liability stays yours, and the play itself is illegal for the Romanian market.
