TotoGaming may have its license suspended in Romania over betting ad featuring a doctor
🔹 The Romanian regulator ONJN fined operator TotoGaming $4,45 thousand and initiated suspension of its license over an advertising campaign involving a doctor. The final decision must be made by the supervisory committee.
🔹 In the advertisement, placed on a billboard near Cluj-Napoca and also in videos for YouTube and Instagram, the TotoGaming protagonist appeared as a doctor — in a white coat with a stethoscope, in a medical office and next to an examination couch and equipment. The slogan urged: “Easy to use between appointments. Try it yourself!”
🔹 The ONJN believes such advertising can create a habit of placing bets whenever a few free minutes appear, and the image of a doctor gives a false impression of safety and normality of such behavior.
