Dutch Gaming Authority Imposes Penalty Payment Order on BlokDance BV

The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has imposed a penalty payment on BlockDance BV for offering unlicensed games of chance. Offering games of chance without the required license is prohibited in the Netherlands. If the party does not cease the violation and keep it ceased, it will be imposed a penalty payment.
Investigation by the KSA has shown that BlockDance offers illegal games of chance on the websites bc.game and bcgame.lu. After a re-inspection by the KSA, BlockDance made the investigated website inaccessible to Dutch players. At that time, the KSA announced to the party that it would not impose an order subject to penalty payments. However, during monitoring, the sites appeared to be available again, which is why an order is now being imposed after all. Within four weeks of sending the order, the company must definitively stop offering games in the Netherlands, otherwise they will receive a penalty payment of €280,000 per week, with a maximum of €840,000.
On the sites investigated it was possible to create a player account, make deposits and participate in the illegal gambling offered. No technical measures were taken on the sites to prevent participation from the Netherlands.
The Netherlands has a regulated gambling market to better protect players. The KSA therefore takes tough action against illegal supply. With an order subject to penalty, illegal supply is often quickly stopped. Providers can also be fined for the period in which the illegal supply was available.
