Dutch Gambling Authority Partners with Payments Processors

Back

Kansspelautoriteit, the Dutch Gambling Authority, has secured co-operation agreements with several payment service providers (PSP) in an effort to stop payments to unlicensed gambling operators offering gambling services to Dutch punters illegally.

Processors include PSP’s Mollie BV, DialXS BV, BV Sisow, Currence, Mastercard and members of the Payments Association Netherlands, Dutch Banks and PaySquare SE.

Kansspelautoriteit said, "If an illegal provider receives no money from a consumer, it becomes futile to be illegally operating in the market.”

The current PSP’s involved consider blocking these payments as a social responsibility.
