Arno Rutte, who was recently appointed secretary of state for legal protection in the Netherlands, has said that he will use recommendations from new research to shape new policies on land-based slots in the country.
In a letter to the Dutch House of Representatives on Tuesday, Rutte highlighted five recent research reports on gambling, including the KSA’s recent piece on the impact of tax increases. The latter of these, published in late September, set out a series of proposed changes to regulation on Dutch slots.
Commissioned by the Dutch Scientific Research and Data Centre, the report looks at certain player protection issues facing slots. It points out that many regulations related to land-based slots have not been updated since the year 2000.
