Netherlands Submits Remote Gambling Act for European Commission Approval
The Dutch government has submitted its Remote Gambling Act for review by the European Commission.
Despite COVID interruptions, the Dutch government maintains that it will launch its new regulated gambling marketplace on 1 July 2021.
Prior to market launch, Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) will open its first licensing window on 1 January 2021, evaluating incumbents seeking to join the market.
The Remote Gambling Act was officially approved in February 2019, however, the mandate has been significantly revised since its adoption by the Dutch Upper House.
The Act that has been forwarded to the EC for review contains the latest amendments drafted by Netherlands Legal Protection Minister Sander Dekker, related to competition rules, use of historical databases, executive responsibilities and further technical specifications and requirements.
