New measures have come into force today in the Netherlands, the new provisions will establish a player protection scheme which will include mandatory checks and deposit limits.

Players over 25 will have a deposit limit of €350 per month, while players under 25 will be subject to a €150 limit. The scheme sets a maximum deposit threshold of €700 for players over 25, and a €300 limit for those under 25.

If players exceed the net deposit limit when making a deposit, the KSA expects providers to block further deposits from the player for the remainder of the calendar month. Duty-of-care obligations mean operators must track customer deposits to ensure that mandatory checks are applied when deposits reach €350 and €150 per month, respectively.

For Bettors who want to deposit more than €700, operators must carry out a full duty-of-care check on the customer’s financial well-being, exposure to harm, and whether they are gambling excessively. Operators may allow customers to wager above the deposit limit, but only if it is responsible within the duty-of-care framework and all other legal obligations are met.
