888poker in Romania: can you play, and how to sign up

Yes — 888poker accepts players from Romania. One of the oldest rooms online, locally licensed across Europe. This page covers what that means in practice: the legal position where you are, how the room works, and what to check before you deposit.

Is 888poker legal in Romania?

Online poker is licensed by the Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN), and only licence holders may offer real-money poker to players in Romania. 888poker.ro is a locally licensed site. This is general information, not legal advice. 888poker publishes the list of countries it serves and Romania is on it; where a local licence is required, it operates under that licence. The minimum age to play is 18. This is general information, not legal advice.

What 888poker offers

Running since 1997 and part of a London-listed group, 888poker holds its own licences in Great Britain (UKGC 39028) and Malta (MGA/CRP/121/2006-09), plus separate locally licensed sites for Sweden, Denmark, Romania, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ontario. Its tables are known for a softer recreational field than the biggest networks.

Signing up from Romania

Registration takes a few minutes: create an account, verify your identity with an ID document (a legal requirement everywhere we list), and choose a deposit method. Common deposit methods include cards, bank transfer and e-wallets; the exact list depends on your country. Withdrawals go back to the method you deposited with wherever possible.

Playing responsibly

Set a budget before you play and keep to it. Every room we list offers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in the account settings. If gambling stops being fun, Gambling Therapy offers free, confidential help in Romania.
