Gambling during the sports summer? Free help with Gamban from Loket Kansspel!

The Dutch Gaming Authority (Ksa) warns about the risks of gambling during the upcoming sports summer, with events such as the European Football Championship. To protect players and combat illegal activities, Loket Kansspel now offers free Gamban subscriptions.

Why is gambling during the sports summer risky?

Online gambling activity increases significantly during major sporting events. The Ksa fears that this could lead to:

  • Increased risk of gambling addiction: The tension and emotion surrounding sports competitions can tempt people to gamble more than they intended. This can lead to addiction, with all its negative consequences.
  • Financial problems: Gambling can lead to money loss. Especially if you play with borrowed money or bet more money than you can afford to lose.
  • Illegal providers: More illegal gambling sites are active during the sports summer. These sites are not reliable and can scam players.

Block gambling sites with one click

Loket Kansspel now offers free Gamban subscriptions to help players gamble responsibly. With Gamban you can block all gambling sites in the world on all your devices. The temptation to gamble is thus removed.

How to get a free Gamban subscription?

Players who contact Loket Kansspel because of risky gambling behavior receive a free annual subscription to Gamban. This applies to the next two years.

Additional help and information

In addition to the free Gamban subscriptions, Loket Kansspel also offers other help and information about responsible gambling.
