The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has imposed a fine of €1,200,000 on Techno Offshore Limited for illegally offering gambling via the websites nolimitbet.com and simplecasino.com. Offering online gambling without a license for the Dutch market is prohibited.

These websites did not take sufficient measures to keep Dutch players out. There was also no visible age check upon registration and options such as autoplay and turboplay were available. These types of game options encourage excessive gambling behaviour.

Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the Dutch Gambling Authority, said: “Licensed providers in the Netherlands must comply with all kinds of rules to protect players from gambling addiction. With illegal providers, we often see that no account is taken of the prevention of risky gaming behavior, for example by not using age verification, enabling payments with crypto or a lack of gaming limits. We take tough action against these types of parties, because they attract players to illegal offerings and players are insufficiently protected there.”
