Casinos in Netherlands: 2026 guide
Regulated market: licences are issued by Kansspelautoriteit. Operators holding one work legally; the rest accept players from abroad.
Regulation
The Netherlands legalised online gambling on 1 October 2021 after the Remote Gambling Act (KOA) took effect. Licences for online casinos and betting are issued by the regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA). A mandatory national self-exclusion system, CRUKS, is in place: players register via DigiD and operators check every customer. Responsible-gambling requirements are strict, covering play-behaviour monitoring, limits and a ban on aggressive advertising, including a near-total ad ban from 2023. Land-based casinos are traditionally tied to the state operator Holland Casino. The currency is the euro; the local iDEAL method is popular, alongside cards and bank transfers. Winnings are subject to gambling tax. Players should choose only operators holding a KSA licence.
