Online casino in the Netherlands could intervene faster and better in case of immoderate play or possible gambling addiction

Licensees of online gambling could intervene faster and better in case of immoderate play or possible gambling addiction. This does not happen enough at the moment with too many providers. This is the conclusion of the Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa) after an extensive investigation into the fulfillment of the duty of care at 10 providers of online gambling on the Dutch market. Based on the results, the Ksa will work on tightening its own policy and recommendations for adaptation of laws and regulations by the Ministry of Justice & Security.

What fines have Dutch casino licence holders received?

Dutch licence holders must also strictly adhere to the rules. Having a gambling licence does not mean you can sit back and not be checked. Nothing could be further from the truth. These parties are also monitored, and just as well. They also regularly break gambling laws. The fines below were handed out recently for various reasons.

Is online gambling legal in the Netherlands?

If a gambling site has a Dutch licence, it is legal to gamble there online. It is expected that the number of companies where this is possible will rise to 40 to 45 in the course of The logical consequence is that players are not allowed to gamble legally at gambling companies without a Dutch licence. There are a lot of them, because that applies to all foreign gambling companies. They are obliged to take measures to block visitors from the Netherlands. The Dutch Gambling Authority checks this, but it is not easy. After all, the number of foreign gambling sites is so large that not every offender is discovered. You can therefore say that illegal gambling at a foreign site is tolerated in practice.

Visitors of an online casino who also sometimes play in a gaming hall will experience that in an online casino more money can be lost per hour. In a slot machine hall, the maximum average loss per hour is determined by law. This is calculated back to an hourly loss. By calculating the hourly loss in this way, higher and lower hourly losses are eliminated. The maximum hourly loss for slot machines and slot machines in an amusement arcade is set at € Keep in mind that in an online casino this can be much higher.

Measures to prevent gambling addiction

Politicians in the Netherlands have long struggled with legislation to open up the online gambling market because of the fear of creating gambling addictions. For this reason, strict requirements are imposed on the providers of these websites. Among other things, they must:

- Identify visitors and check that they are 18 years of age or older;
- Provide staff with demonstrable knowledge of how to prevent a gambling addiction;
- Have an action plan if a gambling addiction is detected;
- Provide information to players about the game they are playing;
- carrying out risk analyses for each category of game;
- monitor players' behaviour in real time and take action if necessary;
- have a link with CRUKS.

Advertising rules Holland

Online casinos are allowed to advertise, but this must meet strict conditions. The advertisements must not have an aggressive recruiting character. This means that high welcome bonuses may not be used to incite people to play at a casino. It is also not allowed to create the impression that a visit to an online casino always leads to high profits. For more information on what is and what is not allowed regarding advertising online gambling, please visit the website of the KSA, the Dutch Gaming Authority.
