Betting in UK as a Romanian

As a Romanian living in the UK and interested in betting, I find that the experience here is both familiar and exciting. The UK is one of the biggest betting markets in the world. And there’s plenty to offer, especially if you’re into sports like football. As we know, it is hugely popular both back home in Romania and in the UK.

1. Football Focus:

Like many Romanians, football is probably your go-to when it comes to betting. The Premier League (EPL) is a big deal here, and it’s easy to get caught up in the action. You can also bet on major European competitions like the Champions League, and of course, there’s still access to betting on matches from Romanian Liga 1, if you want to follow what’s happening back home.

You’ll find that UK betting sites like Velobet, Ladbrokes, and William Hill cover both English and Romanian leagues, so you won’t miss out on betting on FCSB, CFR Cluj, or any of the other teams you follow. Whether it’s an accumulator (ACCA), betting on both teams to score (BTTS), or going for the more complex markets like correct score, there’s plenty of variety to keep things interesting.

2. Betting Platforms:

In the UK, you have access to some of the best online betting platforms in the world. Betsson, Velobet, Paddy Power, and Ladbrokes are the major players here, and they’re incredibly easy to use. Whether you prefer betting online via your laptop or mobile, these sites have great apps that make betting super convenient.

Let’s say you’re more comfortable with Romanian-language platforms. Here you’ll find options like Superbet, which has expanded into the UK. They provide all the markets you’re used to from Romania. Along with the added benefit of being licensed and regulated for UK users. You bet on Romanian sports while enjoying the UK’s stricter safety and security measures.

3. Romanian Bookmakers in the UK:

If you’re looking for something more familiar, Superbet is a Romanian company that’s now fully operating in the UK. They’ve brought over a lot of what makes betting back in Romania exciting, including coverage of Liga 1 games, so if you want to keep up with the football at home while living here, they’re a great option.

And since they’re licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), you can trust that the site is safe, secure, and fully compliant with UK betting laws, which is a nice peace of mind.

4. Popular Sports:

For Romanians in the UK, betting doesn’t stop at football. You might also be into basketball, especially with the rise of the NBA and EuroLeague. It’s becoming more popular back home, and it’s a great option for betting here as well. Tennis is another big one, especially if you’ve followed Simona Halep’s career. Major tournaments like Wimbledon, US Open, and Roland Garros are massive for betting in the UK.

5. Language and Support:

If English isn’t your strong suit, don’t worry – some betting sites like Superbet offer Romanian-language versions of their platforms, along with Romanian-speaking customer support. This can make the whole experience much easier and more enjoyable. Especially so if you’re just getting used to living in the UK.

6. Regulations and Responsible Gambling:

The UK has pretty strict gambling laws, and as a bettor, this is a good thing. Everything is tightly regulated by the UKGC, so you can be sure that your money is safe, the odds are fair, and that there are plenty of tools available to help with responsible gambling. You’ve probably noticed that UK betting sites are big on promoting responsible gambling with tools like deposit limits and self-exclusion programs—things that are taken very seriously here compared to Romania.

Conclusion:

As a Romanian living in the UK, the betting scene here gives you the best of both worlds: you can enjoy the excitement of the Premier League and European football while still keeping up with Romanian sports. Whether you’re betting on local UK platforms or Romanian sites, you’ll find plenty of familiar markets and new opportunities to explore, all backed by some of the strictest and safest regulations around.
