Dutch gambling authority says it lacks powers to block repurposed domains
The Dutch gambling authority, the KSA, has said it cannot readily take down websites that use former business domains to advertise illegal online casinos because it lacks the necessary legal powers. A media interview described how domains linked to failed businesses had been acquired and repurposed for gambling adverts; the KSA has asked politicians for tools to address the sites.
The authority’s stated lack of takedown powers affects its ability to respond to illegal gambling adverts on repurposed domains.
