Kansspelautoriteit Introduces Age Verification Rule
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Netherlands gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has added age verification as a priority criterion in the approach to online gambling. With effect from January 1, 2020, age verification will be a must for online gambling operators.
“The range of illegal online games of chance is huge. KSA makes choices in combating this, with the protection of Dutch consumers as the guiding principle. The criteria of age verification is now added to the criteria that the KSA uses for this. Preventing minors from taking part in gambling is an important priority of the KSA,” the regulator said.
Failure to verify age before the registration process has been completed also has consequences in the longer term. This violation is negatively taken into account at a later stage if an online gambling license is applied for in the context of the Remote Gambling Act.
“The statement by the participant to be of age is not enough. It must be clear to players how their age is being verified. KSA emphasises that offering games of chance without a license is prohibited. Satisfying the age verification requirement does not mean that the KSA will refrain from enforcement, or that a future permit application will be considered positive,” KSA added.

MightyTips nominated for the SiGMA Africa Awards 2025 as the Best Sportsbook Affiliate
MightyTips has been shortlisted for the SiGMA Africa Awards 2025 in the Best Sportsbook Affiliate category. The award ceremony will occur in Cape Town, South Africa, on March 10, 2025.
This award highlights and recognises affiliates who successfully drive traffic to online sportsbooks, provide additional insight for sports bettors, and create meaningful collaborations that help boost engagement for all parties.
MightyTips will compete for the Best Sportsbook Affiliate award against industry titans such as Flashscore and Sofascore, among other contenders. A total of 24 awards will be handed out throughout the evening.
MightyTips highlights
The nomination follows a year of growth for the online sports portal. MightyTips provides comprehensive bookmaker reviews and daily free football tips and predictions across various leagues and tournaments, including the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and UEFA Champions League, which are highly popular with African audiences. The platform generates consistent African traffic, with Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Uganda being the biggest sources.
In 2024, MightyTips expanded its portfolio of multilingual sites to 18 and launched the MightyQs interview series, which illuminates partnerships between sportsbooks and high-profile sports organisations and personas. The latest instalment explores MelBet’s role as the Juventus FC’s Official Regional Partner in Africa and the Middle East.
Another highlight of the year came in September 2024 as MightyTips ambassador, an undefeated pro boxer Jevgenijs “The Hurricane” Aleksejevs claimed the IBO European Middleweight Championship belt, helping to improve the brand’s visibility among sports fans.
Eugene Ravdin, Head of Communications and Marketing at MightyTips, said: “We are thrilled to be nominated for the Best Sportsbook Affiliate at the SiGMA Africa Awards. We are working hard to reach African bettors and are delighted to receive recognition. It is great to see our work and proactive approach rewarded.
