The Dutch Remote Gambling Act will let private operators enter the market for the first time. Casinos and other providers need to use a central register (CRUKS) to let all the players register automatically by the social security number they have. Lotteries are exempted from the CRUKs. There are also stricter regulations on promotional and marketing methods.
