In Romania, iGaming tends to take over many people’s pastimes. However, this common hobby can become somewhat problematic without adequate control and support. Fortunately, Pariuri Si Jocuri has emerged as a safe haven for sports and gaming enthusiasts.
Launched in 2019, this leading review platform promotes responsibility and transparency, educating its readers on the related risks and safe practices.
Spreading awareness about responsible iGaming and industry-related laws is how Pariuri Si Jocuri earns the trust of numerous clients.
We sat down with Adrian Matieș, Project Coordinator at Pariuri Si Jocuri, for a candid discussion about the company’s road to success. Adrian also highlighted Clockify’s ongoing contribution to their growth.

Pariuri Si Jocuri’s history and mission: Balancing entertainment and safety
Curious about Pariuri Si Jocuri’s beginnings, we asked Adrian Matieș what inspired their market choice:
“After 2010, thanks to technological advances, online gambling picked up speed in Romania. By 2021, it represented more than half of the entire gambling revenue in the country. With the market being as it is, it made sense for us to establish a presence here.”
However, navigating a market that aims to entertain while dipping into pockets can’t be easy. Adrian told us that Pariuri Si Jocuri recognizes the need for responsible iGaming and strives to provide a safe and enjoyable environment:
“Pariuri Si Jocuri tries to be a tool for players looking not only for the best sources of fun, but also the safest. We only work with licensed operators on the Romanian market. Our team of experts provides the best reviews and up-to-date information, so that our readers can pick the operators which best suit their needs.”
No business can stay in business without customers — and only reliable, effective services can attract repeat clients. Adrian opened up about the target demographic of Pariuri Si Jocuri:
“Most of our users know what they want (best games, best bonuses, fastest registrations, etc.), so helping them isn’t difficult. However, we also want to help new players that may know nothing about iGaming and want to give it a try.”
In Adrian’s words, their platform provides both instruction and guidance to ensure an optimal customer experience:
“With our guides, players are able to quickly understand how the Romanian iGaming market works, what services they can expect to receive, and how they can best use them. Our services help players save time and enjoy themselves playing their favorite games.”
Pariuri Si Jocuri’s work model: Remote work with room for flexibility
To learn more about the company’s background and employee management, we inquired about its conception and workforce:
“We launched our website in 2019. Our team includes 3 industry experts and additional staff for website maintenance, business development, marketing, and social media — a total of 9 people.”
Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the company was compelled to modify work conditions and embrace remote work.
However, Adrian explained that the company occasionally adjusts the work model to promote on-site team collaboration:
“We mostly work remotely. This has become the norm, especially after the pandemic. We sometimes work in-office, especially for important meetings, communications, or projects/events.”

What obstacles Pariuri Si Jocuri faced before Clockify
After switching to remote work, the company needed a straightforward system to log employee hours and encourage productivity. Before discovering Clockify, Pariuri Si Jocuri experimented with tricky, inefficient tools:
“The tools we used before weren’t that efficient. We were having a hard time keeping track of our work. We were unable to see who’s working on what project, what projects are done, what projects are ongoing, etc.”
According to Adrian, using complex tracking technology disrupted their workflow and caused concern among employees:
“We kept getting complaints from our team members that they were wasting time trying to move blocks around and figure out where to add certain information or how to schedule tasks.”
Speed up workflows with Clockify
Adrian happily described how they adopted Clockify to streamline business processes — from beginning to present:
“We started small, just using Clockify to track time spent on work. Our IT staff were very satisfied with it, so it made sense for the entire team to adopt it. Now we use it for invoicing, reminders, reports, and team management.”

Why Pariuri Si Jocuri sticks with Clockify
Hearing about Clockify’s contributions to Pariuri Si Jocuri is music to our ears. Adrian told us that his team relies on Clockify for all productivity needs, from project planning to invoicing:
“We use Clockify to track the time we spend working on projects, organize work by clients and projects, assign tasks, get weekly reports, and for invoicing.”
Adrian commended Clockify for helping them uphold their core values — especially reliability:
“We have become better at meeting the expectations of our customers and partners. They can trust us to meet our deadlines. This gives us confidence, which helps us deliver better results and improve our relationships with partners.”

Clockify features that Pariuri Si Jocuri uses the most
Next, our interlocutor detailed how certain Clockify features benefited Pariuri Si Jocuri. Let’s see what he had to say below.
Clockify feature #1: Time tracker
Pariuri Si Jocuri’s Adrian Matieș credits our auto tracker for optimizing project management:
“We used Trello before Clockify. Our team members found it hard to work with and spent a lot of time filling in information. Now we use the Clockify timer to easily track time on different projects. You can start and stop it as you work. You save time by skipping manual entries.”
According to Adrian, our time tracker has also simplified their billing process:
“Knowing how much time we spend on billable projects helps us calculate how much we should charge clients and what we can invoice.”
Our friends at Pariuri Si Jocuri are fond of logging daily activities with our time tracker. However, Clockify also has a manual alternative for timekeeping — timesheets that you fill in for a single day or the entire workweek. See how this feature works below.
Based on the image above, you can leverage digital timesheets to gain a clear, well-organized overview of your work. All you need to do is:
- Select and tie a project to your current workweek,
- Create a time entry for each day and add the start and end times,
- Describe your daily tasks (ideal for employees dedicated to 1 project per week), and
- Mark the time entries as billable/non-billable.

Clockify feature #2: Reports
Reviewing progress reports leads to effective resource planning. In Adrian’s words, that’s why the team at Pariuri Si Jocuri regularly checks Clockify reports to stay on track with their goals:
“We use reports and charts to plan our quarterly budgets and to make sure that we stick to them.”
Through Clockify’s versatile reporting, you can gain valuable insights into your business operations — like budgeting, employee attendance, and task allocation:
- Expense report — see your tracked expenses for a specific time to figure out what to charge your clients,
- Attendance report — check how closely your employees are following their work schedules, and
- Assignments report — compare scheduled and tracked time for tasks to see if you’re hitting your estimates.
As illustrated above, expense reports help you track expenses by category to stay on budget. Attendance and assignments reports bring added benefits — knowing who’s working when and who’s doing what takes the hassle out of scheduling.
Together, the above reports give you a leg up on your resource allocation.
Clockify feature #3: Invoicing
Adrian thinks the invoicing feature brought an unexpected benefit for the team at Pariuri Si Jocuri — the ability to better control expenses:
“The invoicing feature Clockify comes with has been a pleasant surprise. This feature has helped us track costs and even reduce spending.”
With flying colors, our billing system lets you invoice clients in 3 steps:
- Create invoices by selecting the client, currency, and issue date,
- Import time and expenses for a project within a set date range (or add them manually), and
- Tweak invoices to correct mistakes or update information, like client details or time entries.
To monitor spending, visit the Invoicing page for a list of all invoices and filter them by status:
- Sent,
- Paid, and
- Void (cancelled).
Tracking invoice status allows you to view received and owed payments alongside their due dates. This makes maintaining a healthy cash flow a breeze. Plus, seeing clients’ payment history, both timely and late, helps you set realistic expectations for future projects.
