3 Oaks Gaming Secures Romania Certification for Market Entry

3 Oaks Gaming has successfully obtained certification from Romania’s National Gaming Office (ONJN) for over 50 of its top-performing slot games, marking a significant step toward entering the country’s regulated iGaming sector. This certification allows the company to introduce its extensive game portfolio to licensed operators in Romania, broadening its reach across Europe.

Following similar approvals in the UK and Portugal, the Romania certification further cements 3 Oaks Gaming’s expansion efforts in key regulated markets. Calling Romania a “vibrant and growing market”, Yuriy Muratov, Chief Commercial Officer at 3 Oaks Gaming looks forward to cooperating with local operators and expanding the network of both partners and players.

Extending European Reach

With regulatory approval now in place, players in Romania will soon gain access to some of 3 Oaks Gaming’s most popular titles, including Coin UP: Lightning, Sun of Egypt 4, and 3 Hot Chillies. This move underscores the company’s dedication to compliance and delivering engaging content to new markets.

Muratov emphasized the importance of this development, stating:

"Securing certification for our games in Romania represents an important milestone for 3 Oaks Gaming as we continue to extend our reach across Europe. This achievement demonstrates our focus on providing engaging, compliant, and high-quality content to new markets.

UK Gambling Commission’s Approval Opens Doors for UK Market

In another strategic milestone, 3 Oaks Gaming has obtained certification from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) for a wide range of its slot games, preparing the company for its UK market debut. This approval follows an extensive compliance review, ensuring the games align with the UKGC’s strict regulatory requirements.

More than 50 titles have received approval, including player favorites such as 3 Pots of Egypt, Storm of Olympus, 777 Fruity Classic, and the latest release, Hawaii Riches. With certification now complete, these games will soon be available to UK players, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s growth strategy.

This achievement builds on the UKGC license that 3 Oaks Gaming secured last year. The rigorous approval process highlights the company's commitment to regulatory compliance and its ambition to establish a strong presence in one of the world's most competitive iGaming markets.

Betclic Partnership for Portugal Entry

Expanding its European footprint further, 3 Oaks Gaming has entered the Portuguese iGaming market through a partnership with Betclic, a leading operator in the region. This collaboration allows Betclic.pt players access to a curated selection of 3 Oaks Gaming’s most popular slots, such as Aztec Fire, Grab the Gold, and More Magic Apple.

Betclic, the first operator to receive a Portuguese online betting license in 2016, continues to be a dominant force in the market. Portugal’s online gaming sector is projected to surpass 800,000 users by 2029, with revenues expected to reach €969.40 million, according to Statista. The partnership between Betclic and 3 Oaks Gaming positions both entities to capitalize on this growth.

To ensure compliance with Portugal’s strict regulations, 3 Oaks Gaming certified 40 games from its portfolio earlier this year under the guidelines of the Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos Turismo de Portugal (SRIJ). This certification allows the company to integrate its content with Betclic via IGT PlayDigital, a platform that enables seamless access to a variety of gaming suppliers while offering advanced player engagement and loyalty tools.

With these key certifications and partnerships, 3 Oaks Gaming continues to drive its global expansion strategy, bringing high-quality gaming experiences to regulated markets across Europe.
