Live Casino in the Netherlands
Complete Guide for Dutch Players • 2026
The Netherlands has a fully regulated online gambling market since 2021. Only casinos holding a KSA (Kansspelautoriteit) license can legally offer services to Dutch players. Unlicensed operators face enforcement action.
The Dutch market prioritizes player protection with mandatory CRUKS self-exclusion, advertising restrictions, and responsible gambling requirements. While the operator selection is smaller than some markets, Dutch players enjoy strong regulatory oversight and iDEAL payment integration at all licensed casinos.
