The performance marketing agency, WakeApp, has received a license to promote online casino sites in Romania.

This means that now the agency’s clients can run full-scale advertising campaigns using all the relevant traffic sources. In addition to the classic online casino, WakeApp gets the opportunity to promote other licensed projects related to gambling in this country, such as poker, betting, and bingo.

WakeApp is already preparing to launch advertising campaigns with several key clients who have expressed an interest in promoting in Romania.

“In 2021, we became a real guide in the world of white mobile advertising, connecting dozens of new traffic sources and reaching even more licensed countries to promote our partners. Obtaining a license from Romania is the next step of the agency to expand the pool of countries in which we can help our clients to take a leading position in the field of gambling and at the same time attract users in accordance with all legal regulations. We saw positive changes in the legislation of the country and the growing interest from the players, so it was only a matter of time to obtain a license. ” – CBDO Nikolay Belikov.

The company is actively introducing new approaches to traffic generation and according to AppsFlyer, takes a leading position in the mobile advertising market, offering customers a wide range of sources with the highest quality target audience.

Notifications to the Money Laundering Secretariat is one the most important sources of information on money laundering and financing of terrorism. A notification is information about a potentially criminal act, and it cannot be replaced by a report to the police.

Gambling operators are obligated to notify in accordance with section 26 of the AML Act. The obligation to notify means that gambling operators must immediately notify the Money Laundering Secretariat if they know of, suspect, or have reason to believe that a transaction, funds or an activity is or has been linked to money laundering or financing of terrorism.

Notifications are essential for the role of the Money Laundering Secretariat, as notifications can in themselves constitute a case. In addition, a notification about a suspicion can be part of a larger case of other suspicious matters.

Police reports cannot replace notifications

There are no exceptions to the obligation to notify even if you have reported the matter to the police. In case a gambling operator has reported a customer to the police, the gambling operator must also notify the Money Laundering Secretariat which is an authority independent from the police.
