Trimbos says Dutch gambling policy aligns with public-health recommendations
Trimbos Institute said the Dutch government’s proposed gambling policy broadly reflects recommendations from health researchers, including treating gambling as a public-health issue and strengthening consumer protection. It welcomed the proposed restriction on online gambling advertising but questioned how its exceptions would work, and called for greater international cooperation on gambling policy and harm.
The institute’s assessment puts public-health and international cooperation considerations into debate over proposed Dutch gambling rules.
