Dutch Gambling Regulator Imposes €531,250 Fine on Tipico
Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has imposed a fine of €531,250 on Malta-based Tipico Co. Ltd. for illegally offering online games of chance to Dutch consumers.
The online games of chance were offered via the tipico.com website. A starting fine of 200,000 euros applies for this violation. The fine was increased 3 times by 75,000 euros: once for the bonuses on offer and the large number of games and bets offered, once for the use of an inactivity fee and once for offering live betting.
This form of betting carries a higher addiction risk than bets that can only be made before the start of matches. Furthermore, the fine was increased because the age of the players was not visibly verified. Tipico’s website can no longer be reached with a Dutch IP address.

The Danish Gambling Authority has released the annual report describing the authority’s work with illegal gambling. In the 2024 report, you can read more about a new collaboration with the streaming platform Twitch, and the authority’s focus on a betting trend involving the video game currency “Robux”.
Every year, the Danish Gambling Authority publishes a report explaining the rules for when gambling is legal in Denmark, and the report also reviews the initiatives implemented in the past year to combat illegal gambling.
One of the initiatives launched in 2024 is a collaboration between the Danish Gambling Authority and the streaming platform Twitch, which allows the authority to report illegal gambling content on the platform in the same way as it already does today with Apple, Facebook and Google. This will strengthen the Danish Gambling Authority’s work to prevent Danish users from being exposed to illegal content on the platform.
Another initiative launched last year is an inspection of the “Robux” betting phenomenon. “Robux” betting refers to the illegal offering of gambling where the virtual currency Robux from the computer game Roblox is used as either a deposit or prize.
