Reading Time: < 1 minute

Michel Groothuizen, chairman of the Netherlands Gambling Authority, has been unanimously appointed as general board member of the board of the Gambling Regulators European Forum (GREF) for the period 2025-27. GREF is a partnership in which gambling regulators from Europe share knowledge, experiences and best practices and work together on a safe and fair gambling market.

In his new role, he will spend the next two years working to strengthen the importance of GREF and to further grow the organisation. His personal mission is to work with other regulators to establish shared standards in the area of gambling supervision.

“An example of this is the clear standard that gambling under the age of 18 is an absolute no go,” said Groothuizen.

He looks forward to a pleasant collaboration with other countries in the coming administrative period.
