Dutch Online Gaming Market Grows Despite Regulation Yet To Be Enforced

The Dutch gaming regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) released a market overview report on Wednesday highlighting a significant growth in the online gaming marketplace despite a lack of regulation in the Netherlands.

The KSA estimates that the online gaming market in the Netherlands will reach €296 million in gross gaming income in 2015, representing a 7.6 percent growth when compared to the estimated €275 million in revenue in 2014. Additionally, the KSA believes that an estimated 437,000 Dutch residents out of the country's 17 million population will have gambled online this year even though current legislation to regulate online gaming has yet to be adopted.
