The Dutch Gaming Authority (Ksa) is imposing a penalty payment on Starscream Limited for offering illegal gambling to Dutch players via the websites rantcasino.com, sugarcasino.com and allstarzcasino.com.

With this penalty payment, the Ksa demands that Starscream Limited immediately stops the illegal offer and keeps it stopped.

If the provider does not comply, a penalty payment of €280,000 per week will be imposed, up to a maximum of €840,000.

On the sites investigated, it was possible to create a player account, make deposits and participate in the illegal gambling offered. At that time, no technical measures had been taken to prevent participation from the Netherlands.

The Netherlands has a regulated gambling market to better protect players. The Ksa is therefore taking tough action against illegal offers. With a penalty payment, illegal offers are often quickly stopped. Providers can also be fined for the period in which the illegal offer was available.
