Dutch government submits bill to exempt small bingo events from Alcohol Act
State secretary Judith Thielen submitted a bill to the Dutch House of Representatives to create an exception for small bingo events under the Alcohol Act. The proposal would allow such events in venues serving alcohol; organisers would still need to be Dutch associations established for at least three years, with a stated purpose other than organising games of chance.
The bill could allow qualifying community bingo events at venues where alcohol is served.
