Dutch state regulators will now keep a close watch on multiplayer, first-person video game websites as the Netherlands declares skin betting illegal.

EGaming Review Magazine reported that the Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA), which has recently published a Q&A, pointed out that it will not issue skin betting licenses to video game operators, even if no money changes hands.

Despite admitting to have little information on the subject, the KSA has vowed to conduct a relentless crackdown on wagering in-game items as the Dutch law explicitly says that skin betting activities in Netherlands is prohibited.

The KSA, whose hands are tied on the matter, has called on the public to report skins gambling providers.
