Dutch Gaming Authority Takes Action Over Unauthorised World Cup Marketing Breaches

The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) is extra alert to unauthorised activities by providers of games of chance. The rules are clear, but providers of gambling activities seem to push the boundaries here and there.

The Ksa has approached two online operators about advertising in a game in which people can create a World Cup pool. This is not allowed. This is to prevent people who are interested in games, mostly young people, from being tempted by advertisements to participate in games of chance. The gambling operators have stopped doing this.

In the past week, a number of providers of games of chance were once again held accountable for the prohibited use of role models in advertising or sponsorship. The name or logo of a gambling company cannot be in the same communication as the image, voice or name of a role model. This also applies to sponsoring an event or TV programme. These providers have been summoned to stop the violation and have complied.

In addition, the Ksa addressed a party (refers to another website) for advertising bets on a match while that match was in progress. That is not allowed to prevent impulsive behavior among viewers of those matches. The provider immediately stopped the violation. A local café where bets were organized on the matches of the Dutch national team also had to deal with the Ksa. This form of betting is an illegal game of chance, and that is not allowed. The café immediately stopped offering the bets.

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming puts its own spin on the popular mining and gems theme with the release of Crystal Clusters.

Crystal Clusters takes players on an immersive journey deep into a gemstone mine, where dark visuals and an upbeat soundtrack create a mysterious and exciting atmosphere.

The game utilises the popular cluster-pay gameplay mechanic, with wins formed when players land clusters of matching symbols on the reels. Each win triggers a cascading effect, with winning symbols being removed and new ones falling from above.

Multiplier cells and sticky multipliers in both the base game and the Free Spins round make the popular mechanics feel even more rewarding.

Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said: Cluster pays games have proven extremely popular with players in recent years, and with Crystal Clusters, we have taken everything players love about the mechanic and enhanced it.

The slot does an excellent job of combining a much-loved theme with dynamic features and an excellent math model, and we can’t wait for our players to start mining their way to big wins.”
