A Dutch Online Casinos Decision

The European Commission has spent several years attempting to eliminate online casinos gambling monopolies from the EU, and the ruling to reject Holland Casinos request for exclusive access to the Dutch gambling market was a step both in the right direction and the wrong. There were some concerns that the Dutch Senate would grant the request, which would then cause increased action from the Commission. But as it stands, the Holland online casinos gambling site still has an essentially exclusive corner on the Dutch internet gambling industry.

Right now many countries are in a transition period when it comes to online casinos gambling legislation. The Netherlands is facing investigation from the European Commission for operating an internet gambling monopoly – Holland Casino in is the only online gaming company that can officially offer internet gambling services to Dutch players. But now at least the Dutch Senate has taken a step in the right direction for denying the casino’s request for three-years of exclusivity in the country.

The Netherlands is one of the ten EU member-states that violates EU policy with monopolistic online casinos gambling policies – now though the Commission’s warnings to alter the policy on internet gambling seem to be taking effect. The Commission has threatened to send those countries in non-compliance with free-trade policies up before the European Court of Justice as a next step instead of continuing stalled negotiations and open defiance.

As for specifics, the Dutch Senate voted 35 -37 to veto Holland Casino’s request for exclusivity.
