Licensed online casinos in the Netherlands 2026
10 operators holding a Kansspelautoriteit licence, compared on playthrough terms, payout time, limits and what the 2026 licence renewals change.
The Remote Gambling Act, licences and what changes in 2026
Online gambling has been legal in the Netherlands since 1 October 2021, but only at operators licensed by the Kansspelautoriteit. Licences run for five years. In September 2026 the first group received follow-up licences to 2031; LiveScore Bet and Tombola had already left the Dutch market.
Playthrough in euros
Clearing โฌ100 at 30x takes โฌ3,000 in bets; on a slot paying back 96%, that costs about โฌ120 on average. Holland Casino asks 5x, while TOTO and bet365 give spins whose winnings can be withdrawn straight away.
Limits and Cruks
Every operator checks at sign-up whether you are listed in Cruks, the central exclusion register. A net deposit limit of โฌ700 a month applies on top, or โฌ300 for under-24s.
What may still come
In June 2026 the government proposed an almost complete ban on online gambling advertising and bonuses, plus a single deposit limit across all sites. That needs new legislation first.
โ Common questions
Only operators licensed by the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA). The first 2021 licences expired at the end of September 2026; that month eight operators, including TOTO, Holland Casino, BetCity, bet365, Kansino, Fair Play and Bingoal, received follow-up licences running to 2031.
Not at a KSA-licensed site. The operator pays gaming tax on its gross gaming revenue: 34.2% in 2025 and 37.8% from 2026.
Since 1 October 2024 a net deposit limit of โฌ700 a month applies, or โฌ300 for players aged 18 to 23. Depositing more requires showing that it is affordable.
Dutch operators only give sign-up deals to players aged 24 and over, and anyone registered in Cruks cannot play at all.
