Addiction rapporteur urges faster online gambling safeguards in the Netherlands
National Addiction Rapporteur Arnt Schellekens will address a parliamentary roundtable on gambling on 19 March. In his position paper, he said the proposed increase in the age limit for higher-risk gambling to 21 is insufficient and called for faster action on measures including a cross-operator spending limit, clearer duty-of-care rules, advertising restrictions and researcher access to player data.
Faster implementation and clearer duty-of-care rules could affect operators’ consumer-protection obligations and enforcement.
