Hi All, I am slightly confused about the Dutch gaming market. I had a brief conversation with a friend who works for a poker brand the other day and he mentioned that they do quite well out of the Dutch market. I did some research on the Dutch market and it looks like they are trying to implement what looks to be a very protectionist system and have gone as far as threatening banks that handle payments from foreign operators.

I feel like I have missed something in all this. Why would affiliates drive players to a foreign operated site if there is a good chance that their players may get their payments blocked? This stance would also seem to suggest that foreign operators cannot operate within their country, however I have seen nothing that explicitly bans them. This must also be against EU competition law? It would also seem like a lot of hassle for the operators themselves to invest in breaking into a very grey looking market! read more
