Possible postponement of Dutch Online Gambling Regulations
On Thursday 18 June, the continued written consultation took place with the Minister for Legal Protection Sander Dekker and the standing committee for Justice and Security. The MP’s tabled a number of motions and the Dutch Minister commented on them. There the minister made a remarkable statement about the expected date of opening of the online gambling market in the Netherlands with the Remote Gambling Act, but also about the cooling off period of penalized casinos.
Possible few months delay of Remote Gambling Act
During the meeting serveral motions were proposed. In motion 82, MP van Nispen stated that preparations for the online gambling market had suffered some delays, partly as a result of the COVID-19 measures. In a response Dutch Minister Dekker indicated the targetdate for opening the Dutch Gambling market is January 2021. But then the novel coronavirus COVID-19 broke out in early 2020. Since then land-based casino’s say many guests have switched to illegal gambling providers and that this could have been prevented with the Remote Gambling Act. On the other hand, there are concerns among interested parties about meeting licence obligations in time. The Ministry of Security & Justice has also been very busy with many things recently. As a result, the Minister said he does not exclude that this will lead to a slight delay. In a further clarification Dekker described the delay “about a few months”.
Extension of cooling period for penalized operators
Penalized operators currently face a two year cooling off period. Motion 83 requests the government to extend the cooling-off period by a proportional period if the market opening is postponed. Minister Dekker said he could live with a limited extension, provided that the delay in the Remote Gambling Act also remains limited. In other words, letting the cooling-off period move with the effective date. If the current cooling-off period of 2 years is maintained, but the Remote Gambling Act will face a delay, this would mean that many more penalized operators are ready at the start of the online gambling market. To prevent this, the motion will be forwarded to the House of Representatives, which will have to approve the motion in a vote.

BC Red Star players wear jerseys featuring the QR code, with additional promotion through basketball arena ads, TV ads, and more, encouraging fans and supporters to participate.
A Unified Effort for Community Impact
The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign is a collaborative effort involving Meridianbet, Meridianbet foundation, Expanse Studios, and basketball club Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, Southeast Europe’s leading basketball club, of which Meridianbet is the name sponsor. The initiative is designed to leverage our collective resources and influence to make a meaningful impact on local communities.
Multi-Stakeholder Support and Growing Participation
The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign has received institutional support ad backing from the Ministry of Health, reinforcing the importance and legitimacy of this cause. Additionally, several companies have already expressed their desire to contribute, with provisions made for donations through the Meridian Foundation’s account. This broadening support network amplifies the initiative’s reach and potential impact.
This campaign exemplifies Meridianbet’s dedication to sustainable development and community well-being. In 2023 alone, the company has launched 225 CSR campaigns, reflecting the commitment to making a lasting impact.
