Netherlands to Target the Broader Illegal Gambling Ecosystem per KSA’s 2026 Agenda
The Dutch KSA plans to disrupt the entire illegal gambling ecosystem by 2026, targeting not just operators but also supporting services.Summary
The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has outlined its agenda for 2026, focusing on combating illegal gambling and protecting players. A key component of this agenda is a shift in strategy to target the entire illegal gambling ecosystem, including payment service providers, hosting companies, and social media platforms that facilitate illegal operations. This move comes as criticism grows against companies that support these illicit activities. The KSA will also strengthen supervision of social responsibility requirements for licensed operators, aligning with the government’s focus on player protection. Recently, the KSA fined ComeOn’s parent company, Tulipa Ent Limited, EUR 750,000 for failing to protect vulnerable young adult players who incurred significant losses over a short period.
