Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has revealed new measures introduced to improve gambling protection have resulted in a reduction in player losses, but concerns remain over the impact on channelization.
Several rules were introduced in the country during October 2024. Among these were new deposit thresholds that relate to a player’s net deposit during a calendar month.
Under this new measure, if a net deposit exceeds €700 ($824), further deposits are blocked until the end of that calendar month. Lower limits of €300 are in place for young adults aged 18-25. Limits will be automatically enacted on the first day of each calendar month.
Since the new measure came into effect, KSA has seen a decline in the number of users depositing more than the set limits and has detailed its findings in a new report.
