The Hague court upholds Energy Casino fine despite turnover-calculation error
The District Court of The Hague partly upheld Energy Casino’s appeal against a Kansspelautoriteit fine of more than €1.1 million for offering online gambling without a Dutch licence. The court found an error in the regulator’s calculation of the statutory fine ceiling, but ruled that it did not affect the fine’s final amount.
The ruling leaves the penalty in place while identifying an error in how the statutory ceiling was calculated.
