The Kansspelautoriteit is seeking the full €840,000 penalty from Costa Rica-based 3-102-897762 LTDA after finding Starzino remained accessible in the Netherlands. The regulator set a deadline of 3 April 2026 to stop the activity and found the company had not complied during checks on 7 and 14 April; payment was due by 28 August, but its status was unclear.
The KSA is seeking €840,000 from Costa Rica-based 3-102-897762 LTDA after checks found that the company had not stopped Starzino operating in the Netherlands.
The regulator imposed the conditional penalty in March 2026 over unlicensed gambling offered through Starzino in the Netherlands. The company had to stop operating in the Netherlands before 3 April 2026 or pay €420,000 per week, up to €840,000. The KSA's checks on 7 and 14 April 2026 found that the company had not stopped, making the full amount payable.
The KSA said its letter of 1 May 2026 notifying the company of its intention to collect the penalties had not reached it by post. The regulator sent the notice again on 28 May 2026. The €840,000 was due by 28 August 2026, but it is unclear whether it was paid.
Starzino remains active and accessible from a Dutch IP address, reportedly. The site's footer named EHC Limitada as owner on 9 November 2026, having named LuckyWayz Limitada B.V. in May and Eclipse Interactive Limitada in March. The last archived screenshot naming 3-102-897762 LTDA as the parent company was taken in February 2026.
