State Secretary Teun Struycken for Legal Protection is working on a plan to implement an age limit of 21 years or older for the riskiest gambling games, he reported in a letter to the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of Dutch parliament. This is part of a larger package of measures that the NSC member announced after various investigations into problems in the gambling sector and the Tweede Kamer requested stricter rules.
He is going to look into the possible consequences of the plan and promised that he will be able to present the first version of his law proposal at the start of next year at the earliest.
