TaDa Gaming has added the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence to its business operations alongside its Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) Hellenic, Romanian ONJN and Swedish Spelinspektionen ones.

Following a successful conclusion to its application to the Gambling Commission, players across the UK – and other international jurisdictions – will now be able to play TaDa’s industry changing fishing-shooting games, immersive slots, crash and bingo releases.

As an established brand with over 30 years’ industry experience, TaDa Gaming has been making a name for itself in Europe, Latin American, Africa and, most recently, North America. The valuable UK market has been in TaDa’s sights for some time and the new licence will enable access to this exciting operator and player base.

Andy Huang, CEO of TaDa Gaming, said: “Whilst all gaming authorities rightly insist on rigorous standards and strict adherence to the rules, the UKGC has the reputation for being the most demanding. We are delighted to have had our game protocols and commitment to the highest standards of fair play verified in this way, allowing us to expand our presence, increase our trust levels and deliver ever more safe, reliable and innovative gaming experiences to players in the UK and beyond.”

Dutch Gambling Authority Imposes Penalty on Three Gambling Influencers

The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has imposed a penalty on three gambling influencers. These influencers are Stiefunspeelt, Turcos and Buurtwachtt. The penalty is a follow-up to previously announced steps by the KSA to take stricter action against influencers. Because influencers often appeal to a young and therefore vulnerable target group, it is crucial to combat this content.

Influencers Stiefunspeelt, Turcos, and Buurtwachtt posted videos on their social media platforms featuring gambling with illegal providers. They also actively promoted gambling by encouraging their followers to also gamble with these illegal providers. The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KSA) has previously explicitly reminded all three influencers that creating videos promoting illegal gambling is prohibited. Therefore, the KSA imposed a penalty on all three influencers. This requires them to remove existing content within 48 hours and prohibits them from creating new advertisements for illegal providers. If they do so, the influencer who committed the violation will receive a penalty of €25,000 per violation, with a maximum of €75,000.

The KSA continues to closely monitor these types of violations and emphasizes that young people must be protected from this type of content about illegal gambling.
