The Dutch government announced plans for a complete ban on online gambling advertising and on bonuses such as free bets for new players, plus a single cross-operator deposit limit that can only be raised after a financial check. The package also includes indefinite Cruks self-exclusion registration and new KSA powers against illegal sites. Legislation still has to be drafted and approved by parliament; the announcement did not address existing-customer loyalty or VIP schemes.
Why it matters if you play there
Dutch-licensed players should expect bonus offers to disappear and a hard deposit cap; whether loyalty cashback survives depends on the final bill text.
