Dutch legal analysis explains limits on rules for unlicensed gambling
A legal analysis of Dutch gambling law says restrictions such as the bans on untargeted advertising and sports sponsorship apply to licensed operators, not unlicensed providers. It says the Kansspelautoriteit can still act against unlicensed gambling under Article 1 of the Betting and Gaming Act, with whether an offer targets the Netherlands depending on factors such as language, payment methods and other Dutch features.
The distinction affects which legal provisions the regulator can use against unlicensed gambling activity targeting the Netherlands.
