Court rejects BetCity bid to block publication of €2.65m fine
A court rejected BetCity’s request to prevent publication of a €2.65m fine imposed on parent Betent, according to the report. The Kansspelautoriteit had fined Betent over duty-of-care breaches between October 2021 and March 2023; BetCity had appealed the fine, so it was not final. The court said the KSA’s interest in transparency and consumer warnings outweighed the claimed reputational and financial harm.
The ruling allows publication of the KSA’s enforcement decision while Betent’s appeal remains unresolved.
