A study on the risks of illegal online gambling in the Netherlands has warned of offshore operators sharing players’ personal data with third-party sites.

The research, conducted by the Dutch-based Quality Mark Responsible Affiliates (KVA), focuses on the risks of illegal online gambling sites directly accessible to players in the Netherlands.

KVA is a Netherlands-based advisory board created by legal firm XY Legal Solutions which demarcates affiliate sites’ compliance with Dutch regulation.

The study analyzed six offshore operators that can be found through illegal affiliate websites or are organically searchable via the term “casino without Cruks”. Among them were Booms Bet, Vegas Hero and Tomb Riches.
