The Dutch gambling regulator has taken action against the group Dordtse Queens.

The Netherlands.- The Dutch gambling regulator de Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has had a second unlicensed bingo service removed from Facebook.

The KSA found that a Facebook group named Dordtse Queens was advertising illegal bingo both in the group and on the personal Facebook pages of the group’s eight administrators. It said the group had close to 10,000 members, which included minors.

Facebook removed six pages affiliated with the group after receiving a report from the regulator.

The KSA has been clamping down on such unlicensed activity. In September, it ordered Luxury Bingo and BSB Shop to stop offering bingo and lottery services online.

Meanwhile, the KSA has granted an eleventh licence for an operator to enter the Netherland’s new regulated online gambling market. It awarded the licence to land-based casino operator JVH Gaming & Entertainment Group’s JOI Gaming.
