De Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa) heeft met drie onderzoeken nieuwe inzichten gekregen in het gokgedrag van minderjarigen en jongvolwassenen. De toezichthouder deed onder meer onderzoek naar het gokgedrag van jongvolwassenen (18-24 jaar) in de eerste drie maanden na inschrijving bij een legale online kansspelaanbieder, naar gokgedrag onder MBO-studenten en hoe minderjarigen in aanraking komen met gokken. De uitkomsten van de verschillende onderzoeken geven de Ksa nieuwe handvatten voor het beter beschermen van deze groep.

TITLE: Netherlands Gambling Authority Publishes Research on Gambling Behaviour Among Minors and Young Adults BODY: The Netherlands Gambling Authority (Kansspelautoriteit) has published findings from three research studies examining gambling behaviour among minors and young adults. The studies investigated gambling patterns among young adults aged 18 to 24 years during their first three months after registering with a legal online gambling operator, gambling behaviour among vocational education students, and the pathways through which minors encounter gambling. The research reveals that gambling has become normalised within Dutch society, with children encountering it through various channels from an early age. This normalisation may facilitate the transition to online gambling once individuals reach 18 years old. Among new accounts opened by 18-year-olds, 41 percent of the 18 to 24 age group comprises newly registered 18-year-olds, though this cohort typically stakes lower amounts on average. Contrary to previous findings suggesting sports betting acts as a gateway to other gambling products, the research indicates that most young adults begin with casino games. A qualitative study conducted by Youngworks for the authority found that many children encounter gambling before turning 18, primarily through legal products accessed indirectly—such as parents purchasing scratch cards or older friends sharing online accounts. Gambling often occurs as a social activity perceived as harmless by young people, with the social aspect playing a significant role. Positively, the research indicates that many young people view solitary gambling and betting with illegal operators as warning signs of problematic behaviour. The third study on vocational education students found that while 68 percent report not gambling at all, 28 percent of underage students gambled in the previous year, primarily through scratch cards, bingo, and slot machines, predominantly physical offerings. The Kansspelautoriteit will work with the Dutch Ministry to develop additional protective measures for young people as part of its multi-year agenda on gambling harm prevention.
