The Dutch regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has reported that market GGR for legal gambling has fallen since the introduction of deposit limits, despite growing account numbers.
For the full year, KSA reported in its spring report that gross gaming revenue (GGR) in 2024 was €1.47 billion ($1.58 billion), up 6% year-on-year.
However, in the second half of 2024 GGR was 10% lower than in the first half of the year at €697 million. KSA’s GGR numbers cover the 12-month period ending 31 December 2024.
Impacting the results are KSA protection measures that came into force last October. “This decrease is probably due to both the peak during the European Football Championship in June 2024 and the new rules that should better protect players in the online gambling market,” KSA stated.
