The Netherlands’ gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has launched a pair of new campaigns aimed at curbing youth gambling and urging parents to talk to their children about betting risks.
The first campaign, OpenOverGokken (Open About Gambling), specifically targets parents of teenagers and young adults aged 16 to 25. The second promotes Gokstop, the public face of the Netherlands’ national gambling self-exclusion system.
Both campaigns will launch in early November and aim to make conversations about gambling less difficult.
The OpenOverGokken campaign addresses how young people frequently encounter gambling content across social media, online videos, advertising, and video games. The KSA’s second campaign focuses on individuals already experiencing gambling harm or facing elevated risk.
