Dutch judiciary highlights gamblers’ refund cases in 2024 annual report
The Dutch judiciary’s 2024 annual report has for the first time highlighted lawsuits by gamblers seeking losses back from online operators that allegedly offered gambling without a Dutch licence. The Overijssel District Court had ruled in April 2024 that the agreements in cases against Bwin and PokerStars were void, ordering repayments; other refund cases await a Supreme Court decision.
The pending Supreme Court ruling could affect operators facing claims to repay customers’ historical gambling losses.
