Dutch gambling regulator assesses whether Jack’s Casino sponsorship promotes online gambling
The Dutch Gambling Authority chair Michel Groothuizen said the regulator must assess whether Jack’s Casino’s sponsorship of FC Utrecht is sufficiently distinct to avoid indirectly advertising its online casino. The sponsorship is permitted under current rules for land-based gambling providers, while political parties differ over extending the advertising ban to them.
The regulator’s assessment affects how land-based gambling brands can sponsor sports when linked to online casino businesses.
