TITLE: Netherlands Kansspelautoriteit Issues Enforcement Order Against Illegal Promotional Gambling Operator BODY: On June 2, 2026, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), the Dutch gambling regulator, issued an enforcement order with a penalty clause against a company for illegally organising promotional gambling activities. The KSA had previously engaged with the operator regarding its activities, but the company continued to conduct draws despite this discussion, prompting the regulatory action. The enforcement order requires the operator to cease all promotional gambling activities immediately. Failure to comply will result in a penalty of €150,000 per violation, with a maximum cumulative penalty of €450,000. The order targets the company's owner directly, establishing clear accountability for the illegal conduct. Promotional gambling in the Netherlands is subject to strict regulatory controls, and operators must obtain proper authorisation from the KSA before conducting any such activities. The regulator's action demonstrates its commitment to enforcing compliance with Dutch gambling law and protecting consumers from unlicensed gambling operations. The operator may lodge an objection to both the enforcement order and the associated disclosure decision within the statutory timeframe. The KSA has published both the enforcement order (last under dwangsom) and the disclosure decision (openbaarmakingsbesluit) as public documents, making the regulatory action and its basis transparent to stakeholders and the public.
