DUTCH REGULATOR TO BEGIN TESTING NATIONAL SELF-EXCLUSION SCHEME

Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) is set to begin live testing of CRUKS, its national self-exclusion scheme, this week. 

Managed by the KSA, CRUKS is a self-exclusion scheme, based on a centralised database, that is intended to prevent vulnerable gamblers from registering with, and playing at, both land-based and licensed online gambling operators.  

With the Netherlands’ licensing window slated to launch on 1 March 2021, the KSA has warned online gambling operators to make themselves fully aware of the requirements regarding referring players to the CRUKS system. 

Prior to the expected launch of the Netherlands’ regulated online gambling market on 1 September 2021, licensed operators must ensure they are fully integrated with CRUKS, and have tested its referral scheme.
