Number of players

It is not known exactly how many Dutch people play with legal gambling providers, because it is possible to have a player account with several gambling providers. In July 2022, 563 thousand accounts were actually played. The average monthly loss per player account was 153 euros.

From illegal to legal

The objective of the Remote Gambling Act was that three years after the opening of the legal online gambling market, at least 8 out of 10 players would only play with legal providers in a safe environment with sufficient attention to addiction prevention. The monitoring report shows a favorable picture in this regard: 85 percent of the online players played exclusively with legal providers.

Exclusion Register

On October 1, 2021, simultaneously with the opening of the legal online games of chance market, the Central Register Exclusion of Chance Games (Cruks) started . More than 23 thousand people are now registered. As a result, they cannot participate in a game of chance for at least 6 months. Every time a player wants to participate in a risky game of chance, the provider must check whether there is a registration in Cruks.
