The Dutch gaming regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has done something that very few regulators will do: admitting the ineffectiveness of its own strategies. KSA admits that its strategy to find illegal operators has become unsuccessful and the iGaming ban may be coming to an end.
Only a few days remain for the Senate debate on the Remote Gambling Bill, which is scheduled on February 5. Legislators will vote on the bill a few days later. The bill is likely to be approved, paving the way for the opening up of the Dutch market for online operators.
The KSA said in a statement: “The KSA has increasingly imposed fines on online providers in recent years,” the regulator said.
“These have so far had little effect on the extent of the illegal online offer. In a number of cases fines have not been paid. These fines can then hardly be collected as providers are abroad, outside the scope of the KSA.”
