Dutch Authorities Eliminate Loophole Allowing Minors to Gamble
The Dutch government has eliminated a gaming regulation loophole. It allowed underage players to make real money deposits and place bets online with certain operators.
Netherlands’ Gaming Authority de Kansspelautoriteit discovered that some casino operators were allowing players to fund their accounts using third-party bank accounts that did not belong to them. The casinos will take all the necessary measures to eliminate this third party account funding option. In February, the KSA warned eleven casino operator in the country in regards to their advertising strategies that could attract underage players and young adults. The warnings asked the operators to change their ad policies. They used a child-friendly Donald Duck website, a YouTube channel called ‘TeenTok” and a number of TV programs for families including “MarbleMania“.
