Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has issued NetX Betting with a fine of up to €675,000 (£561,748/$729,183) for offering online gambling without a licence on its Pferdewetten.de and Betbird.com domains. The penalty also covers a policy of NetX's to fine inactive players after a certain period of time.
This is the latest in a slew of financial penalties handed out by the KSA. Earlier this week Winbet, the operator of Galaxyspins.com, Winnercasino1.bet, Superb1.bet and Doctorspins.com, was warned that it may have to pay up to €840,000 for offering unlicensed gambling products. Last week, the regulator also sent a similar communication to BlokDance for offering gambling activities via its bc.game and bcgame.lu domains.
The NetX case dates back to December 2022 when KSA first investigated the operator for illegal activity in the Netherlands. KSA found Dutch players were able to access and gamble via its Pferdewetten.de website.
