Online gaming operators have declared an overwhelming amount of interest in operating in the Netherlands once online gaming regulation is approved. More than 200 operators have expressed enthusiasm in obtaining operating licenses, according to the annual report of the Dutch Games of Chance Authority (KSA) released in April.

According to a blog written by Richard van Schaik and Róbin de Wit from the international legal firm DLA Piper, the huge amount of interest from gaming operators has sparked questions from members of the country's parliament.

With such a large amount of interest, the parliament is once again debating whether revenue estimates are reliable, and have asked the State Secretary for Security and Justice, Klaas Dijkhoff, to provide new estimates.
