Illegal gambling operators lure players after new play limits
•

Reading time: 2 minutes Gamblers in the Netherlands are increasingly seeing the term ‘casino without limits’. This new trend is aimed at players who are looking for fewer restrictions when gambling.
Since new play limit rules came into effect on October 1, rogue companies have been trying to entice players. Unfortunately, this term is mainly used by illegal gambling sites that attract vulnerable players. But what does this mean for the players?
Illegal gambling sites respond to new need
The idea of a ‘casino without limits’ may sound appealing. No restrictions, no rules – just play when and as much as you want. But as with many things that seem too good to be true, there is a catch.
Illegal gambling sites use this term to lure people who have excluded themselves from gambling via Cruks (Central Register Exclusion from Gambling). Instead of gambling in a safe and responsible way, players are tempted to go to unlicensed casinos, without any protection.
Gaming Authority fights illegal providers
The Gaming Authority is taking action. They have set up a page called “Safe Gambling”, in which they explain why gambling without a license can be dangerous. Players can go there for tips and advice on how to recognize illegal casinos.
They want to ensure that players do not fall into the trap of gambling sites that do not have a license and therefore do not offer any protection.
What does the Responsible Affiliates Quality Mark do?
The Responsible Affiliates Quality Mark (KVA) is also participating in the fight against these illegal gambling sites. They call on their partners to create informative pages about terms such as ‘casino without Cruks’.
By making players aware of the risks, they hope that people will be more likely to choose a legal casino. The focus is on providing honest, objective information so that players know what to expect.
