Dutch regulator issues binding directive to game supplier Endorphina over illegal sites

The Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit has issued a binding directive to game supplier Endorphina for failing to stop its games appearing on gambling websites that are illegal in the Netherlands. The regulator’s board determined in the directive that Endorphina Limited (Malta) and Endorphina Ltd. (Cyprus) took “onvoldoende adequate maatregelen” to prevent its games being offered on sites that are illegal in the Netherlands. Most actions against unlicensed gambling target the operator running the site. This one reaches one step upstream: a business-to-business studio whose titles are integrated by many operator brands.
