Consumentenbond backs Dutch online gambling advertising ban after 84% support
Consumentenbond said on 12 February that 84% of its panel respondents supported the Dutch government’s proposal to prohibit online gambling advertising. It also reported that 88% wanted stronger safeguards against online casinos’ use of dark patterns. The group called for firmer enforcement of licensed providers’ duty of care; the KSA chair questioned whether a full ban would curb illegal advertising.
The proposal could reshape advertising rules while raising questions about how to address illegal gambling promotion.
