Netherlands chief regulator calls for standardized addiction prevention tools
Michel Groothuizen, chair of the Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA), has called for standardized addiction prevention measures to address shortcomings in the country’s gambling regulations.
His remarks follow a critical evaluation of the Remote Gambling Act (KOA), which found the law falling short of its policy objectives, particularly in protecting players from gambling harm.
“Addiction prevention should not be a platform on which providers can compete with each other,” Groothuizen said in his latest blog post.
