Dutch land-based operators call for gambling tax rise to be reversed

Land-based gambling operators urged the Dutch government to reverse the gambling tax increase during a parliamentary roundtable on 19 March 2025. Holland Casino’s chief executive said rising costs could affect staffing, while Nederlandse Loterij and Postcode Loterij said the higher tax reduced contributions to good causes; JVH Gaming’s chief executive said it had closed venues and warned of effects on player-protection investment.
