The Netherlands’ gaming regulator is vowing to take an even tougher stand against unauthorized online gambling operators based on its professed desire to protect Dutch youth from harm.

On Saturday, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) regulatory body announced “a new step in combating remote gambling,” with KSA vice-chairman HW Kesler saying it was “unacceptable” that underage Dutch citizens were allegedly finding welcome mats outside the domains of internationally licensed online gambling sites.

Not to put the cart before the horse, but the KSA announced its plans to unleash its can of whoop-ass against minor-friendly online gambling sites before actually determining the scope of the problem. In fact, the KSA says it is still planning to launch an investigation into allegations of minors gambling online, and the results of this study may lead to even more whoop-assery.

The KSA already considers a gambling site to be out of bounds if it offers services in the Dutch language, advertises its services on Dutch-language/Dutch-facing media or employs the use of an .nl domain. Starting June 1, the KSA is dramatically broadening its definition of what constitutes a rogue website.
