Dutch government retains control of Nederlandse Loterij and Holland Casino
The Dutch government will retain control of Nederlandse Loterij and Holland Casino, reportedly, while it focuses on reforming online gambling legislation and improving player protection. State Secretary Tjebbe van Oostenbruggen said privatising Nederlandse Loterij was not currently considered feasible or proportionate, but could be reconsidered later. The government also plans to discuss the effects of recent gambling tax increases with Holland Casino.
State ownership continues as the government considers online gambling reform and discusses tax increases with Holland Casino.
