What Netherlands Remote Gambling Act 2021 (KOA) - Kansspelautoriteit Licensing Framework requires
The Wet kansspelen op afstand (Remote Gambling Act, KOA), which came into force on 1 October 2021, opened the Dutch online gambling market to licensed operators after a decade of prohibition. The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) is the Netherlands Gambling Authority responsible for licensing and supervision. Operators must hold a KSA online gambling licence (granted for 5 years, renewable), implement the CRUKS national self-exclusion register mandatory across all operators, apply Dutch responsible gambling tools (deposit limits, loss limits, cool-off periods), and comply with the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering Directive (Wwft) requirements. The KOA mandates segregation of player funds. Advertising is strictly regulated - untargeted advertising to under-24s is prohibited. Criminal penalties under the KOA include imprisonment up to 2 years for unlicensed gambling operations.
