About Betano Romania – Licence, Operator & Sponsorships
Betano is one of the most visible betting and casino brands operating in Romania, and this page explains who stands behind it: the operating company, the ONJN licence, the brand’s mission, its football sponsorships and the corporate details that matter before opening an account. This is an independent review website, not the operator itself.
Who Is Betano
Betano is a sports betting and online casino platform available to players in Romania, operated by Kaizen Gaming International Limited, a company registered in Malta. The brand launched on the Romanian market in 2017 and operates under ONJN licence L1170664W000663, valid from 01.02.2017 to 31.01.2027.
Internationally, Kaizen Gaming runs the Betano brand in several regulated markets, including Portugal, Germany and Brazil, and operates in Greece under the Stoiximan name. In Romania, the platform combines a full sportsbook with an online casino covering slots, table games, live casino, jackpot games, video poker and game shows, supplied by providers such as Pragmatic Play, Amusnet, Playtech, EGT Digital and Evolution.

Is Betano Legal and Licensed in Romania?
Yes. Betano operates legally in Romania under licence L1170664W000663, issued by the Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN), the national gambling regulator. The licence is valid from 01.02.2017 until 31.01.2027 and covers the operator’s online betting and casino activity for Romanian residents.
Holding an ONJN licence means the operator must comply with Romanian gambling legislation, including player protection rules, age verification (18+), taxation and anti-money-laundering obligations. Identity verification (KYC) is mandatory before withdrawals: players submit a valid ID card, passport or driving licence, proof of address (a recent utility bill or bank statement from the last 3 months) and proof of the payment method used. Verification is typically completed within 1-2 hours, and documents must be uploaded within 30 calendar days of opening the account.
Licensed operation also requires that casino games run on certified random number generators, with return-to-player values set by the game providers and subject to independent audit — a standard condition of regulated markets such as Romania.
Mission and Values
According to the operator’s published materials, Betano’s stated priorities for the Romanian market centre on four areas:
- Safe and entertaining play – a platform designed so that betting and casino gaming remain a form of entertainment, with account limits and self-exclusion tools available.
- Transparency and fair play – published terms for bonuses and payments, certified games and clearly stated withdrawal rules.
- Responsible gambling – deposit limits, reality checks and links to support organisations, as required by the ONJN framework.
- Technological innovation – native Android and iOS apps, in-house platform development and fast payment processing.
Sponsorships and Partnerships
Betano is one of the most prominent sponsors in Romanian football. The brand holds naming rights to the top division — Liga 1 Betano — and to the national cup competition, Cupa României Betano. At club level, the operator has been associated with partnerships involving leading Romanian sides, including FCSB and Universitatea Craiova.
These sponsorships follow the same pattern Kaizen Gaming applies in other markets, where Betano backs top-tier football competitions and clubs. For Romanian players, the practical effect is a strong local brand presence and frequent football-focused promotions tied to the sponsored competitions.

Kaizen Gaming recruits for its Romanian operations across several departments, typically including IT and software development, customer support, marketing and compliance.
