The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has allocated grants to five new projects focused on preventing gambling-related harm the authority announced on Tuesday.
The projects, conducted by the Anonymous Gamblers Foundation and the Gamblers’ Environment Foundation (AGOG), the Dutch Association for Psychiatry (NVvP), the Trimbos Institute and the Naast Foundation, are financed through the KSA-managed Addiction Prevention Fund (Verslavingspreventiefonds, VPF).
Established in 2021, this fund is supported by an additional levy on providers offering high-risk gambling products.
The KSA cited Dutch research showing that approximately 20% of people who engage in gambling fall into moderate or high-risk categories for gambling addiction. The current investment concentrated on four key areas.
