On Wednesday, March 15, the Netherlands will elect a new House of Representatives. How will the outcome of this election affect the regulation of online gaming in the country?

The legislative process so far

After a lengthy process, the Dutch House of Representatives finally adopted a remote gaming bill proposed in July 2016. That bill is now under consideration by the Senate. The Senate, however, has decided to postpone its vote on the bill until the Dutch government has responded to second round of written questions that will yet have to be submitted.
