KSA warns Unibet operator twice over Dutch advertising and autoplay breaches

Enforcement & compliance

The Kansspelautoriteit issued two warnings to Optdeck, which operates Unibet in the Netherlands, over a branded cycling-team bus used beyond its agreed purpose and an autoplay function on its BonusBuy feature. Optdeck said the bus use was not known to it and that a third party had activated autoplay, which remained available for two hours; affected players were reimbursed. The KSA said it would take no further action after both breaches stopped, but warned future violations could bring harsher penalties.

The warnings clarify enforcement risks around sponsorship advertising and autoplay features for operators in the Dutch market.
