Dutch regulator to inspect land-based slots

The Dutch regulator, the KSA, has announced that it will conduct inspections of slot machines over the next two months.

The Netherlands.- Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), the Dutch gambling regulator, has announced that it will conduct a round of checks on land-based slots during this month and the next. It will inspect machines throughout the country to check they comply with new registration requirements.

As of October 1, when the Netherlands’ new licensed online gambling market launched, land-based slot machines must record players’ visiting frequency. Rules were already in force requiring slots to record data on excessive play, a requirement introduced in April.

The KSA said: “The new registration obligations are an important condition for analysing player behaviour. The law not only legalises the online gambling market, but also imposes new requirements on country-specific providers in the field of addiction prevention and advertising.”
