Unlicensed Operations and Prior Warnings
WPN operates several online domains through which it offers gambling services without the necessary Dutch licenses. Despite previous warnings from the KSA regarding these illicit activities, WPN continued its operations, leading to the substantial fine. The KSA has the authority to increase fines based on the duration and severity of the violations, a measure applied in this case.
Additional Violations
Beyond operating without a license, WPN imposed additional charges on players who did not log in for a certain period, effectively penalizing inactivity. Furthermore, WPN misrepresented its credibility by displaying a foreign license, misleading consumers about the legitimacy of its services.
KSA’s Stance on Illegal Offerings
Michel Groothuizen, Chair of the KSA’s Board of Directors, emphasized the effectiveness of penalty payments in swiftly removing illegal offerings. He stated, “Yet these types of parties should not think that they will get away with it easily, so we also impose fines for the violation committed. With that we hit them where it really hurts, namely in the wallet.”
Conclusion
This enforcement action against WPN highlights the KSA’s dedication to maintaining a regulated and fair gambling environment in the Netherlands. Operators are reminded of the importance of adhering to local licensing requirements and the consequences of non-compliance.
