[Romania Bans Polymarket for Operating Without a License] The Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN) blacklisted Polymarket on Thursday, citing its unlicensed operations. ONJN classified the bets on the prediction market as 'gambling-style betting' rather than trading. Romania's gambling industry is a state monopoly, and operators must obtain an ONJN-approved license to conduct business. ONJN stated that the ban decision was based on legal regulations and unrelated to technical factors.
