A study on illegal gambling domains in the Netherlands has reported that traffic to illegal sites has “increased significantly” following the introduction of deposit limits last year.
The online analysis published [10 March], by the Dutch-based Quality Mark Responsible Affiliates (KVA) scheme noted that traffic to domains found by searching for “casino without limits” or “casino without Cruks”, the Dutch self-exclusion system, has steadily increased since deposit limits came into effect in October.
In October, traffic to illegal domains stood at 172,576, while in November that rose to 294,255. By February it had reached 412,997. This month, measured on 5 March, it passed the one million mark.
