Rosemarijn Dral said: “The regulation of online gambling touches upon important societal themes such as consumer protection and enforcement. I see it as my mission to work with members, the government, and regulators on policies that truly contribute to responsible and safe gaming in practice. VNLOK aims to be transparent in this regard, continue the dialogue, and contribute to political decision-making and implementation with facts.”
