Dutch gambling tax rise adds €2m in 2025 against €108m target
A monitoring report from the Dutch Ministry of Finance and Kansspelautoriteit found that the 2025 gambling tax increase generated €2m more than the previous year, against a target of €108m. The report said player-protection measures, sponsorship restrictions and tighter advertising rules also affected the market, making the tax rise’s isolated impact difficult to determine.
The shortfall and combined policy effects matter to operators assessing Dutch tax and regulatory pressures.
