Kansspelautoriteit plans easier Cruks exclusions for clients under guardianship
The Kansspelautoriteit says guardians should find it easier to have clients compulsorily entered in the Netherlands’ Cruks gambling-exclusion register from 1 January 2026. Chair Michel Groothuizen said processing, which can currently take more than two months, is expected to take one or two weeks, with greater reliance on guardians’ expertise while a client remains under guardianship.
A shorter process could give guardians a faster route to exclude clients experiencing gambling problems from licensed gambling.
