It is headed by President Dan Iliovici who took over from Odeta Nestor having previously been executive director of ROMSLOT.
Te Government Emergency Ordinance 77/2009 is the law for the gambling activities which replaced the former gambling legislation which dated back to 1998. Te 2009 law was later amended in 2010 to include online gambling and again in 2013.
In 2016 the Secondary Games of Chance Legislation was enacted and this normative act comprised of the implementation norms of the primary gambling legislation (Government Emergency Ordinance 77/2009).
Tis changed several things. Te most significant was to detail the requirements applicable to each type of landbased activity which basically set out how gambling premises should be organised and the type of gambling equipment that can be operated. It also ensured monitoring
systems were set up to enable the NGO to remotely verify activity and financial results for unlimited and limited slots.
Te secondary legislation adopted various pieces of legislation to implement the new gambling rules that came into force in February 2016. Tis secondary legislation plus additional Presidential Orders aimed at the online sector, included the following aims:
l
Bringing in forms and registers to be used for various gambling activities from casinos games, betting, slots and poker games
l
Regulating conditions for connecting slots via autonomous IT systems for a centralised data system.

Approving reporting obligation for online gambling for reports on profits, jackpots, gambler exclusions etc
