Verification Snapshot
- 🟡 ONJN license — L1160651W000195, initial 2016-2026, reported renewed through 2036, confirmed via a company announcement syndicated across major Romanian outlets including national press agency AGERPRES, but onjn.gov.ro itself returned an SSL error on direct fetch during this research
- 🟢 Online-native origin — confirmed as an international online-only group since the early 2000s; Winbet was checked and excluded for having a land-based gaming-hall origin instead
- 🟢 Excluded a more obvious pick — Superbet (Romania’s market leader) was checked and dropped after an official Curtea de Conturi (Romanian Court of Accounts) audit found it had requested voluntary ONJN license termination in April 2024
- 🟢 Responsible gambling framework — Romania’s national self-exclusion registry and 18+ minimum age confirmed via reputable Romanian legal-information reporting
- 🟡 Payments and bonus terms — reported consistently across several sources, not confirmed against NetBet’s own site directly
- ⚪ Customer support, mobile experience — could not be reliably confirmed / not tested
Quick Verdict
NetBet is a genuinely online-native international betting and casino group operating in Romania under ONJN license L1160651W000195, reported since 2016 and recently renewed through 2036. It was chosen for this review over Romania’s market leader, Superbet, after an official government audit report surfaced that Superbet had requested voluntary termination of its ONJN license in April 2024 — a real, sourced reason to avoid an otherwise-obvious pick rather than a caution. NetBet’s own licensing claim is well-corroborated via a national press agency but could not be confirmed via a direct ONJN registry-page load, which failed with an SSL error during this research.
CasinoRadar Score: 6.9/10
Evidence confidence: Medium (5 of 8 categories scored). Per CasinoRadar’s methodology, scores built on 5-6 of 8 categories are published with a Medium confidence label rather than withheld.
| Category | Weight | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Trust | 20% | Strong corroboration, not regulator-page confirmed. ONJN license L1160651W000195, initial period 2016-2026, reported renewed through 2036 via a company announcement republished by AGERPRES (Romania’s national press agency) and numerous other outlets. onjn.gov.ro returned an SSL error on every direct fetch attempt. |
| Payments & Withdrawals | 15% | Reported, moderately detailed. 9+ methods reported including cards, e-wallets, bank transfer, Revolut, Aircash, and cash deposits; withdrawals reported as instant via Aircash and 0-2 business days for cards/e-wallets, with no stated commission. Not confirmed against NetBet’s own site directly. |
| Games | 15% | Reported, breadth confirmed but exact count inconsistent. Sources report 60+ providers, but the total game count varies (5,200 vs 8,000+) across different sources — CasinoRadar deliberately does not state a specific figure given this inconsistency, following the same approach used for Videoslots’ library-size claims. |
| Bonus Value | 15% | Reported, reasonably consistent. A welcome package up to 7,000 RON plus 700 free spins across the first five deposits is reported, alongside a separate 77 wagering-free no-deposit spins on verification — a specific, plausible detail. Not confirmed against NetBet’s own site directly. |
| Responsible Gambling | 10% | Regulatory-baseline. Romania’s national gambling self-exclusion registry (managed by ONJN, covering all licensed operators) and 18+ minimum age are confirmed via reputable Romanian legal-information reporting rather than NetBet’s own site. |
Transparency, Customer Support, and Mobile Experience were not scored — insufficient reliable evidence found during this research.

Is NetBet Legitimate?
Strong corroboration, no direct regulator-page confirmation: NetBet’s ONJN license (L1160651W000195) and its reported renewal through 2036 are confirmed via a company announcement that was independently syndicated across numerous Romanian news outlets, including AGERPRES, the country’s national press agency — a notably stronger corroboration tier than a single company press release alone. CasinoRadar could not confirm this directly against ONJN’s own site, which returned an SSL error (onjn.gov.ro) on every fetch attempt during this research, so licensing stops short of a full direct regulator-page “Verified” status.
Licensing & Regulation
Romania’s Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN) has directly licensed and regulated online gambling since 2013. NetBet is reported to hold Class I license L1160651W000195, initially granted for a 10-year term from 2016, with a further 10-year renewal reported through 2036. CasinoRadar deliberately chose NetBet over Superbet, Romania’s market leader, after finding an official Curtea de Conturi (Romanian Court of Accounts) audit report documenting that Superbet had requested voluntary termination of its ONJN license in April 2024, one of eight operators that did so rather than establish a legally required permanent Romanian office. Winbet was also considered and excluded, since its own documented history shows a 2007 land-based gaming-hall and betting-agency origin with online operations added later.
Responsible Gambling
Romania operates a national self-exclusion registry, managed by ONJN, that automatically blocks registered individuals from all licensed operators once enrolled — via online submission, in-person request, or through a licensed operator. The minimum gambling age is 18, with no exceptions, and operators are required to verify age at registration. This is confirmed as a regulatory baseline via reputable Romanian legal-information reporting rather than NetBet’s own site, which was not directly tested for this review.
Bonuses
Reported: a welcome package of up to 7,000 RON plus 700 free spins, spread across a player’s first five deposits, alongside a separate offer of 77 no-deposit free spins with no wagering requirement upon account verification. The wagering-free no-deposit detail is specific and plausible, similar in kind to MrQ’s no-wagering bonus policy noted in an earlier CasinoRadar review, though the deposit-bonus wagering terms themselves were not independently confirmed against netbet.ro for this review.
Games
Reported: over 60 game providers, spanning slots, live casino with Romanian-language dealers, sports betting, and poker. Total game-count figures found during research were inconsistent (5,200 vs 8,000+), so CasinoRadar does not state a specific number here, consistent with how earlier reviews (e.g. Videoslots) handled conflicting library-size claims.
Payment Methods
Reported: debit/credit cards, e-wallets, bank transfer, cash deposits, Revolut, and Aircash. Withdrawals are reported as commission-free, with Aircash processed instantly and card/e-wallet withdrawals in 0-2 business days. None of this was confirmed against netbet.ro directly for this review.
KYC & Verification
As an ONJN licensee, NetBet would be subject to Romania’s identity-verification requirements, referenced in connection with its no-deposit bonus offer being tied to account verification. Broader documentation requirements were not independently confirmed for this review.
Mobile Experience
CasinoRadar has not conducted hands-on testing of NetBet’s mobile site or app, and no dedicated research into mobile-specific features was performed for this review.
Customer Support
CasinoRadar could not find reliable information on NetBet’s customer support channels for this review.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: ONJN license reported since 2016, renewed through 2036, confirmed via national press agency AGERPRES
- Pro: Genuinely online-native since founding — not a land-based gaming-hall chain that later added online
- Pro: Subject to Romania’s ONJN national self-exclusion registry
- Pro: Wide reported game-provider count (60+) and payment-method variety
- Con: onjn.gov.ro could not be directly reached (SSL error) during this research
- Con: Game count reported inconsistently across sources
- Con: No public-company transparency angle found, unlike several other recent picks
- Con: Customer support and mobile experience unverified
Who Is NetBet For?
Players located in Romania who want a long-tenured, genuinely online-native operator with a wide reported game and payment-method selection.
Who Should Avoid NetBet?
Players who want a review with directly regulator-confirmed licensing — this review could not fully deliver that, since ONJN’s own site could not be reached during this research. Players who prioritize a publicly traded parent company for added transparency, since no such structure was found for NetBet unlike several other recent CasinoRadar picks.
Final Verdict
NetBet is a genuinely online-native operator with a well-corroborated, long-standing ONJN license, chosen deliberately over Romania’s market leader after a real, sourced red flag (Superbet’s 2024 voluntary license-termination request) surfaced during research. Licensing corroboration here is stronger than a single company statement — it comes via Romania’s national press agency — but still stops short of a direct ONJN registry-page confirmation. Games and bonus data are reasonably detailed but not independently verified against NetBet’s own site.
CasinoRadar Score: 6.9/10. Evidence confidence: Medium (5 of 8 categories). Testing: Research-based.
Frequently Asked Questions

Why wasn’t Superbet reviewed instead, since it’s Romania’s market leader?
An official Romanian Court of Accounts audit report found Superbet had requested voluntary termination of its ONJN license in April 2024 rather than establish a required permanent Romanian office — a real, sourced reason this review avoided that pick.

Sources Checked
Attempted primary source: onjn.gov.ro (ONJN’s official site, including its self-exclusion program page) — returned an SSL error (“WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER”) on every direct fetch attempt during this research.
Regulator-adjacent source: a Curtea de Conturi (Romanian Court of Accounts) audit report, referenced via Romanian news coverage (g4media.ro, sfin.ro), used to confirm Superbet’s 2024 voluntary ONJN license termination request — the basis for excluding Superbet from this review.
Independent/secondary sources:
- AGERPRES and multiple other Romanian outlets — used to confirm NetBet’s ONJN license renewal through 2036, all republishing the same company announcement with consistent detail.
- avocatnet.ro — a reputable Romanian legal-information site, used for self-exclusion and minimum-age regulatory details.
- Multiple Romania-specific casino-comparison sites — used cautiously for payment-method, bonus, and game-provider details, explicitly labeled as reported/not independently verified.
Excluded as unreliable or suspicious: “netbets.ro” (note the extra “s”), “netbet.us.com”, and “netbet.org” — domain variants that read as unofficial marketing/comparison content rather than the operator’s real site (netbet.ro / casino.netbet.ro).
Last reviewed: 13 August 2026. CasinoRadar reviews are periodically updated because casino bonuses, payment methods, licensing information and terms can change — this review in particular should be re-checked once onjn.gov.ro can be directly loaded.
