Dutch lawmakers consider further restrictions on gambling advertising
Dutch lawmakers are considering additional gambling advertising restrictions, potentially including a blanket ban, amid concerns about gaps in player self-exclusion safeguards. State Secretary Claudia van Bruggen said operators cannot check every player’s Cruks status when advertising; industry representatives warned that a total ban could benefit unlicensed operators.
Possible advertising restrictions could constrain licensed operators’ customer reach, while a total ban may benefit unlicensed operators.
