Dutch lawmakers press for stronger action against illegal gambling sites
Dutch lawmakers urged the government to strengthen enforcement against illegal gambling during a parliamentary committee debate. State Secretary for Justice KT van Bruggen said the government is developing legislation for DNS blocking, with a public consultation expected in early 2027. She also said officials are engaging with Meta and Google over illegal gambling advertisements and will receive reports every six months.
Proposed DNS blocking and engagement with advertising platforms could strengthen Dutch action against illegal gambling sites and advertisements.
