The National Lottery of Moldova warns about the rise of illegal operators and reaffirms its commitment to a regulated market and responsible gaming

 The gambling market in the Republic of Moldova has recently faced an alarming increase in illegal activities, affecting both consumer safety and the stability of the regulated market. In this context, the National Lottery of Moldova, as a legal and responsible operator, reconfirms its commitment to protect the public through accurate information, promoting responsible gaming, and strengthening a transparent and safe gaming environment.

 Illegal operators operate outside the regulatory framework, ignoring player protection standards, lacking mechanisms to prevent addiction, and not contributing taxes to the state budget. This situation creates major risks for citizens, including financial losses, lack of personal data protection, and exposure to fraudulent practices.

 The National Lottery of Moldova fulfills its legal and moral responsibility by implementing strict responsible gaming policies, conducting public awareness campaigns, and complying with all regulatory requirements set by the competent authorities. At the same time, the institution actively collaborates with state authorities to combat the illegal market and to ensure a safe and fair gaming environment.

 Consumer protection and maintaining market integrity are fundamental priorities for the National Lottery of Moldova. We promote a responsible and transparent gaming model that prioritizes public interest and player safety.

 The National Lottery of Moldova encourages citizens to choose only authorized operators and to check official sources before participating in gaming activities. Choosing a legal operator means protection, fairness, and a direct contribution to the development of the public budget and social projects.

By strengthening the regulated market and combating illegal activities, the Republic of Moldova can build a modern, responsible gambling sector focused on the public interest.
