WODC studies potential changes to Dutch bingo rules
The Dutch Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) will examine possible changes to rules for small-scale bingo, following a motion by Rosemarijn Dral adopted by parliament in April 2025. The study will assess effects on players, businesses, municipalities and regulators, including whether looser conditions could shift activity towards illegal gambling or make enforcement clearer.
The findings will inform whether the ministry changes bingo rules that currently require a permit when specified conditions are not met.
