Illegal gambling affiliates use TikTok videos to reach Dutch consumers
Affiliates promoting illegal online casinos are using TikTok videos to reach consumers in the Netherlands, a sampling described in the source found. The videos direct viewers to profile links and can reach thousands of people even when posted by accounts with few followers; the platform does not publicly disclose how its recommendation algorithm works.
The reported promotion method raises enforcement challenges for efforts to restrict illegal gambling advertising aimed at Dutch consumers.
