Dutch Watchdogs Demand Compensation From Online Casinos Over Risky Practices

An investigation uncovered troubling practices across major platforms, including Bet365, BetCity, Holland Casino Online, Jacks, Unibet, and TOTO. Among the issues were unclear game terms, hidden bonus conditions, and default settings that encouraged players to spend more than intended. Consumer advocates argue these tactics breach Dutch law, which requires operators to protect users from harm.

The dispute centres on whether online casinos are doing enough to prevent harm under Dutch regulations. Consumer groups are pushing for compensation, while some operators have already adjusted policies in response. The outcome could set a precedent for how user protection rules are enforced in the future.
