Recently, the Netherlands Gaming Authority (KSA) Chairman, Marja Appelman, spoke out about the ban of online gambling advertising in the country. This ban was put in place in 2019 and has been enforced since then. Appelman believes that this ban is necessary to protect vulnerable individuals from the potential harms of gambling.

Appelman stated that the KSA is committed to protecting citizens from the risks associated with gambling. She believes that online gambling advertising can be particularly dangerous as it can be difficult to regulate and monitor. Appelman also noted that the KSA is working to ensure that any online gambling advertisements are not targeted at minors or vulnerable individuals.

The KSA has also taken steps to ensure that online gambling operators are compliant with Dutch law. The KSA has issued several warnings to operators who have violated the ban on online gambling advertising. In addition, the KSA has also taken legal action against operators who have failed to comply with the ban.

Appelman believes that the ban on online gambling advertising is an important step in protecting citizens from the potential harms associated with gambling. She also noted that the KSA will continue to monitor the situation and take action against any operators who violate the ban.

Overall, the KSA is committed to protecting citizens from the potential harms associated with gambling. The ban on online gambling advertising is an important step in this effort and the KSA will continue to monitor and enforce this ban. By doing so, the KSA hopes to ensure that vulnerable individuals are not exposed to potentially dangerous gambling activities.
