The Registry — The First Measure of Legitimacy
For a player or a partner, checking an operator’s legitimacy begins from one main channel: the official permit registry. Article 7 of the law provides that the issuance and revocation of permits for organising gambling and promotional games and for supplying games, the introduction of amendments to them and their passage through the registry are carried out by the Revenue Service in accordance with the Law on Licences and Permits and with this law. Therefore the first sign of a lawful operator is precisely that its permit is reflected in this registry and is current.
A second source is the player’s direct experience: a lawful operator requires identification and verification, documents the payment of winnings and considers claims under the established procedure — all of this is a direct consequence of permit obligations. If a platform evades these requirements, that is already the first signal that the matter concerns a formal shell rather than a registered structure.The registry’s data are not static: amendments, suspensions and revocations are also fixed through the same channel. Therefore the check should not be a one-time act — regular re-verification ensures that a change in a partner’s status is perceived in time.
