Netherlands bans online gambling sponsorship of sports clubs from 1 July

The Netherlands Gambling Authority, the KSA, fined BetCity €2.65 million after finding breaches in all ten player files it examined. The cases involved players aged 18 to 24 who suffered large losses; the regulator said BetCity did not adequately assess risky play or intervene promptly. BetCity acknowledged the findings and said it had revised its operational processes since Entain acquired it in January 2023.
