KSA bans 20 gambling apps and warns Dutch arcade operator over advertising

Enforcement & compliance

The Netherlands’ KSA said it had removed 20 gambling apps or apps promoting unlicensed sites from app stores since the start of 2025, and urged consumers to report them. It also warned Hotel Gaming Services BV over Circus Gran Casino advertising featuring local ice hockey players, and warned Noord Zuid Alliantie over Lucky 7 Casino customer-service access and language; both operators cooperated and addressed the cited issues.

The actions set out enforcement concerns around illegal app distribution, advertising to younger audiences and Dutch-language customer service.
