Dutch minister proposes tighter gambling rules and a 21 minimum age
Dutch Minister of Legal Protection Teun Struycken outlined proposed gambling-policy changes in a letter to the House of Representatives, according to reports. The proposals include a minimum age of 21 for high-risk gambling, stricter advertising and operator duties, and a central deposit limit with financial capacity checks. Struycken aims to finalise policy proposals in 2025 and introduce a legislative package by 2026.
Dutch gambling providers may face stricter age, advertising, deposit-limit and financial-capacity requirements.
