The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has fired warning shots over the heads of two unnamed operators for potential breaches of money-laundering legislation.

Both companies were found to [be] ‘insufficiently complying’ with the terms of the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act following a lengthly investigation.

The KSA – the Dutch Gambling Authority – concluded a preliminary study into compliance obligations earlier this year, determining that the two companies did not control the gaming behaviour of their players to an acceptable level.

Players were able to lose and deposit thousands during a short period of time, without either firm conducting interventions or investigations, the KSA determined.
