Hotel casinos are licensed under the Landsverordening hazardspelen, which allows games of chance only in designated hotels and does not address online play. No public register of online licences exists. Reform of the land-based and online sector, including a new supervisory authority, is part of the Landspakket agreed with the Netherlands.

Low confidence. This record rests on thin sourcing and is queued for a primary-source check.
