SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
A public statement by the Dutch Gaming Authority Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has revealed that the regulator has renewed its collaborative project with the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).
Both organisations exhibit shared values and responsibilities towards consumer protection, and it is understood that the renewed cooperation agreement will increase their mutual efficiency to strengthen the Dutch market in the years ahead.
Recently, the KSA took additional steps to control the sports betting scene in the Netherlands after several reports suggested that there is currently an increased risk of match-fixing in amateur sports competitions due to a fragmented approach towards the analysis of matches.
These developments reflect the evolving gambling landscape, which is why the renewed cooperation between the KSA and ACM will aim to create a tighter regulatory belt around the challenges that could potentially endanger Dutch consumers.
The new protocol is being enforced with immediate effect, replacing the previous cooperation arrangements dating back to 16 December, 2015.
