Dutch Gaming Authority Imposes Penalty Payment Order on Winbet
The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has imposed a penalty payment order on Winbet NV for offering unlicensed games of chance. Offering games of chance without the required license is prohibited in the Netherlands. If the party does not cease the violation and keep it ceased, it will be imposed a penalty payment.
Investigation by the KSA has shown that Winbet offered gambling via four websites: galaxyspins.com, winnercasino1.bet, superb1.bet and doctorspins.com. For this, it has been imposed a penalty of €280,000 per week, with a maximum of €840,000.
On all the sites examined it was possible to create a player account, make deposits and participate in the illegal gambling offered. No technical measures were taken on the sites to prevent participation from the Netherlands.
The Netherlands has a regulated gambling market to better protect players. The KSA therefore takes tough action against illegal supply. With an order subject to penalty, illegal supply is often quickly stopped. Providers can also be fined for the period in which the illegal supply was available.
