The Gaming Authority in the Netherlands, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has published its sixth monitoring report on the online gaming, analysing the legal market in 2023 in the country.

Though the report underlines that the online gambling market has grown again in 2023, with gross gaming result (BSR) increasing, this growth was less than that of 2022.

BSR for 2023 was €1.39bn ($1.51bn), up 28% from 2022, when it was €1.08bn. Growth has slowed considerably compared to 2022, although the KSA’s phrasing perhaps belies that 28% is still more than a ‘slight’ growth rate.

According to the KSA, the number of accounts used increased to 1.1 million in 2023 compared with 970,000 in the previous year.
