KSA warns One Casino and bet365 over prohibited youth football bets

Enforcement & compliance

The Kansspelautoriteit found during a 2025 check that One Casino and bet365 had offered bets on a football match involving an under-21 team, then discussed the breaches with both operators. One Casino cancelled bets and compensated players after a system classification error; bet365 corrected its system and added automated checks. The regulator said licence-holders remain responsible for their betting offers.
