Netherlands

Netherlands  Gambling in the Netherlands started around the 1300’s and has always been tightly controlled by the government. It wasn’t until 1964 that The Betting And Gambling Act came to pass. Again in 2012 changes were made to improve the gambling experience in the Netherlands. The Dutch Gaming Authority was founded with aims of helping battle gambling addiction and preventing illegal gambling.


Again we see the monopoly model of casino regulation and ownership existing- this time in the Netherlands. Casinos are state owned by Holland Casinos.

It is interesting to note that since this is a state owned system all profits go towards the Dutch treasury.


There are well over 100 slot machines across the casinos in the Netherlands and they are all hooked up to allow for a mega millions jackpot.

Table games such as Baccarat Roulette and Blackjack are frequented daily.

You must be 18 years of age to frequent a casino in the Netherlands.


Online gambling is something that the regulators have tried to control. Unfortunately for them it isn’t against the law for a Dutch citizen to play on an offshore gambline website. So they can only try to limit access to these websites. This is very hard to do and so they are liberalizing for themselves to at least get a share of this big money pot. In doing so they allow outsiders to apply for licences. The Remote Gambling Act of 2021
