Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has taken action against a number of licensed operators over breaches of marketing rules and regulations.

The breaches, the KSA said, were in relation to activities based on the 2022 Fifa World Cup, which is currently taking place in Qatar, where the Dutch national men’s team has reached the quarter-final stage of the tournament.

Two operators were warned about adverts within a free-to-play World Cup prediction game. This form of marketing is not legal in the Netherlands due to the likelihood of minors playing these games and after being contacted by the regulator, both operators withdrew the ads.
