The KSA has introduced its “regulator 2.0” concept, offering operators more support, as stakeholders call for greater bank and tech firm involvement in black market fight.
The Netherlands gambling watchdog has offered the industry a new era of cooperation, but warns that it needs to get itself in order or face extreme regulatory escalations such as a total advertisement ban.
Speaking at the Gaming in Holland Conference 2025 on Thursday, Renske Fikkers, head of the KSA’s regulatory department, said the authority wanted to move away from the perception it is an “unreachable, rigid regulator” focused on infringements and fines.
Discussing its “regulator 2.0” approach, Fikkers said it would be moving towards an open and flexible organisational structure that aims to solve the sector’s most prominent issues.
