🇳🇱 Dutch market faces black market pressure

Holland Casino has warned of a “structural imbalance” in the Dutch gambling market as the country moves into a new regulatory phase. Speaking to iGaming Expert, Nicolas Fleiderman said tighter rules must not weaken channelisation, or players could drift to unlicensed operators ⚖️📉 The key tension is clear: stronger player protection versus keeping the regulated offer competitive. Fleiderman also flagged a social media “paradox”, where precise targeting boosts reach while making ad controls harder to enforce 📱🛡️ For the industry, the message is simple: regulation must stay balanced to protect both consumers and market viability.
