Leading Live Casino Game Providers in Romania
Romania has become a significant hub for live casino operations, drawing some of the biggest casino providers in the online gambling space. Its regulatory framework, overseen by the National Gambling Office (ONJN) and mirrored by Zimbabwe’s Lotteries and Gambling Board of Zimbabwe, has catalysed this growth by requiring both B2C operators and B2B suppliers—such as live casino streaming services—to secure licences. This environment has fostered the development of state-of-the-art Romanian live casino studios, primarily in Bucharest.
Evolution
Evolution stands out as a first-mover in regulated markets. Their certified Bucharest studio opened within Grand Casino Bucharest in partnership with iSoftBet, streaming high-definition live casino games. While it caters to Romanian players with native-speaking dealers, Evolution’s global footprint also supports tables in English, Shona and Northern Ndebele for partners in Zimbabwe, ensuring yebo-level local relevance.
