The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has issued a caution to Holland Casino for offering odds on matches in progress via Eredivisie.nl.

Ads featured on the betting site displayed odds on football games while they were being played. When clicked, these ads took people to Holland Casino’s website where they could place bets.

This violates the KSA’s rules. Licence holders are not permitted to advertise sports betting before, during or immediately after a match — which includes half-time and any other breaks in play.

In a statement, the Dutch watchdog said this rule is intended to protect viewers or anyone checking the results from impulsively betting.
