Legislators in the Netherlands want a ban on advertisements for online gambling

One of the several motions considered by the Dutch House of Representatives was to outlaw advertisements for internet gambling within the nation. 

Michiel van Nispen, a member of the Socialist Party of the Netherlands (SP), stated on the party's website that the party supports the ban on advertisements for gambling websites. 

In 2021, the previously regulated gambling industry became a gambling market. Furthermore, this market is completely unhealthy. More and more people get hooked to gambling as these companies persist in their unethical methods.  

From our perspective, this is the final chapter for immoral gaming companies. A nation free of corrupt gambling corporations can take another stride forward with a prohibition on online gambling ads. 

The legalisation of online casinos in the Netherlands in 2021 reportedly resulted in a doubling of gambling commercials during that year. 

The adoption of a ban on online games with a demonstrably very high risk—games in which players have no control over the outcome and in which there is little time between playing the game and its result—was another noteworthy outcome of yesterday's two-minute debate. 

During the debate, several proposals were voted on, including one that would allow the KSA to use false IDs to spy on casino suppliers. 

Casbit Group NV was fined last week by the KSA for providing unlawful gambling games on the lala.bet website, as reported in other regional press.
