Dutch regulator showed how it stops payments to illegal online casinos
🔹1 in October KSA published internal documents obtained via a freedom of information request. They describe the mechanism for finding payment intermediaries used by illegal gambling platforms.
🔹If, after a warning from KSA, a casino continues to accept players from the Netherlands, the regulator conducts a test payment. From the bank statement they identify the company that received or processed it.
🔹After that, the payment provider is sent a demand to stop servicing the illegal operator. According to KSA’s internal analysis, in most cases such a request is enough for the payment channel to be closed.
🔹If the provider refuses, KSA can issue a mandatory order to block payments. Further sanctions, including fines, are provided for noncompliance.
🔹At the same time, the regulator does not require payment companies to independently check every transaction for links to illegal gambling. KSA first identifies such payments and then contacts the company that processes them.
