Bet365 Attempts to Lift Romanian License Suspension Fail

Balkan business. Whoever doesn't live in this part of the world will be surprised with the way this story develops. However something similar could happen in Croatia because more and more people bet online not in local betshops. The reason is obvious, big taxes.

Balkan business. Whoever doesn't live in this part of the world will be surprised with the way this story develops. However something similar could happen in Croatia because more and more people bet online not in local betshops. The reason is obvious, big taxes. When you place 100e bet, there is one tax- 5% is took of you and it is like you placed bet on 95e. That was acceptable but next one wasn't. They are taking another 10% on winning part of the bet. Let's say you placed a 100e on 2.00 odds. Your potential winning will be 180.5e (100-5% of 100 x 2.00 is 190, and in that case you won 190-95=95 and they are taking 10% of that 95e that are won and that is 9.5e...190-9.5=180.5). That is really bad.

is my strictly opinion ,can be wrong but i suppose they was forced to pay pay or jail or other bad things

Why are bet365 trying to target a poor country like Romania.

yes but Bet365 paid for licence and 5 years back for activity players and still not have right to activate in Romania

Bet 365 is still THE BEST Sportsbook so it's a big loss for the Romanian punters that they don't have an access to it's products. Hopefully they will find a solution and will be back in Romania which will be win/win/win situation if I can say it that way, not only players and the company will benefit if that happens but...

i don't understand why there were problems only with Bet365. There were hundreds of sites which did not pay anything and that was ok. I don't agree sites need to pay 5 years back for Romanian players activity. they should start from zero.

After being treated like that I wouldn't bother with that market. They got a raw deal after complying and paying the taxes , Id sever ties , sry to the players but I wouldn't want that to happen again . This isn't a good way to bring new business , Im sure other establishments are leary now , not wanting same thing to happen.

It surprise me that bet365 is still willing to fight for the Romanian market after seeing what is going on. The decision of the ONJN might be the result of corruption but the decision of the Bucharest Court of Appeal is a major number and if there is corruption too, pure Romanian players.

No need for Romania to put out the welcome mat for outside operators. This is certainly no way to make friends and influence people. We all know that most politicians are greedy and self serving and this is yet, just another example. Down the line, these actions will have other outside operators reconsidering the advantage...

No need for Romania to put out the welcome mat for outside operators. This is certainly no way to make friends and influence people. We all know that most politicians are greedy and self serving and this is yet, just another example. Down the line, these actions will have other outside operators reconsidering the advantage / disadvantage ratio in going to Romania. Although local gambling operators will see this as a victory, because of their alleged involvement, Romanian customers may question the local sites integrity, honesty and worthiness of their patronage.

It's entire possible that Bet365 hasn't obtained a new license for operating in Romania and got Blacklisted because of "local competitors fearful of bet365". I read an article that Bet365 will try to help with legal advice online players that got fined for playing at their online casino and that's saying something about...

I read an article that Bet365 will try to help with legal advice online players that got fined for playing at their online casino and that's saying something about them! And another thing... I don't believe that in Romania there is "discrimination" and/or "corrupt actions" :))). Everywhere else but in Romania :) Good Luck Bet365 in the future!

This is our country.Full of corrupt politicians which try to steal from us everything they can.Winmasters is a very stupid casino, I made an account there, but as far as I read on other romanian gambling forums they pay really hard.I won't be playing there, that's for sure.Let's hope that in the near future bet365 can be...

Yea, bet365 just has to keep paying extortion fees. Pay to play. Paying taxes is just a portion of the fees you pay to do commerce in a country.

I just re-read the article & you are right, somehow I missed the taxes being paid. That was my singular problem with Bet365. After seeing your comment, re-reading the story & further researching Bet365, I believe that they are probably being discriminated against. I apologize for not being more thorough the first time I...

I apologize for not being more thorough the first time I was here. I appreciate you correcting the wrong, I wouldn't have been happy if I detoured folks from playing there with an uninformed comment. A big plus about Bet365, they are a woman owned business! :) I found that very refreshing & I am happy

Good pointed KummerLidande!!You have right, i wanted to write same things.....but you have to know the players didn't move to Winmasters....they have better options like Unibet or 888sports.In my opinion Winmasters is a garbage,i will never make an account there!!!

^Jenna did you actually read the article? taxes were paid and immediately after they have been restricted to operate on this territory. the main *unofficial* reason was a newcomer multiservice casino called Winmasters of which its owner have strong political ties, owns a news based TV station and is multieuro millionaire. in our country everyone getting corrupted with the right sum, was not hard to pull the stunt over bet365 so played moved to Winmasters.

This is interesting. It is unfortunate that these Casino operators have difficulty paying their taxes, when they are taking in so much money! I wish them the best, however, I will not be depositing there again. :)
