Online Casinos Coming into Compliance

Gambling in the Netherlands has just gotten a bit easier according to initial reports from the Dutch media concerning a proposed online casino gambling taxation bill. The taxation of the internet gambling industry was actually a bit of a welcomed development for Holland. The Dutch government was on shaky ground with the European Commission in recent months and years as the Commission has pushed to completely open the European internet gambling industry to accept all EU licensed online casinos in countries that allow forms of internet gambling. There are still a handful of countries that have refused to comply with the Commission’s requests but the Dutch government chose to take seriously the threats from the Commission of an impending European Court of Justice hearing.

According to speculative reports, the Dutch Senate has actually passed the new taxation will in an effort to not only comply with the European Union’s policies regarding the free movement of goods and services between EU member-states, but also to protect Holland Casino’s interests within the land gambling industry. Taxation on both domestic and foreign internet gambling companies is intended to level playing field a bit rather than giving the online casinos a huge benefit over land gambling venues.

The situation in the Netherlands regarding online casino gambling is still in a sticky position and will not be completely in the clear until the new legislation fully passes and the nation accepts foreign internet gambling sites into the Dutch market. Additionally, with the new taxation legislation in place the Dutch government plans on enforcing taxation legislation on Dutch gamblers who win untaxed funds at foreign internet casinos.
