Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has announced all applicants for a remote gambling license in the country will be required to have an “exit plan”, informing the regulator on how they might leave the market if their license expired.
The new requirement, one of several amendments confirmed by KSA on Tuesday, will come into effect from 1 January 2026. It will apply to any gambling business seeking a license in the country, whether they are renewing or seeking entrance into the regulated Dutch market.
Operators must include their proposed exit plan as part of their license application or reapplication. It should set out how they plan to halt their offering in the Netherlands and fully withdraw from the market, should they elect not to extend their license beyond the initial five year period.
