Netherlands Market Snapshot: Channelisation vs Regulation
About
The Dutch gambling market is approaching a critical juncture. While the regulated sector contracted by almost 20% in 2025, traffic to offshore, unregulated operators grew by 60%. This growing disparity raises fundamental questions about the effectiveness of the country's regulatory framework and the unintended consequences of increasingly restrictive policies.
Can a direct connection be drawn between tighter regulatory controls and declining channelisation? Are current measures achieving their intended objectives, or are they inadvertently pushing players towards unregulated alternatives?
Join SBC for an in-depth webinar examining the forces reshaping the Netherlands' gambling industry. Bringing together industry perspectives, the discussion will explore the short and long-term implications of regulatory change, the challenges facing licensed operators and the wider consequences for player protection, market sustainability and commercial competitiveness.
Beyond the immediate regulatory environment, the webinar will examine how relationships between operators, suppliers, regulators and customers are evolving. From changing compliance expectations and market dynamics to the future of responsible gambling and the sustainability of the licensed sector, the discussion will consider what lies ahead for one of Europe's most closely watched betting markets.
As the industry prepares to gather in Amsterdam for SBC Summit Europe, this webinar offers an opportunity to examine the issues shaping the Dutch market, challenge established assumptions and consider what the next chapter holds for the country's gambling ecosystem.
