Dutch online gambling operators report first-half GGR decline of more than 25%
Dutch online gambling operators reported first-half 2025 gross gaming revenue more than 25% below the same period in 2024, according to VNLOK. The association said tax receipts from those operators were at 83% of the previous year’s level despite a tax-rate increase; the KSA confirmed that the government’s revenue targets would not be met. VNLOK attributed the market decline to restrictions and higher taxes, while a KPMG analysis found land-based turnover down 7%.
Lower operator revenue and tax receipts highlight pressure on the regulated Dutch market amid restrictions and higher taxes.
