The Kindred Group, an online gaming operator, has announced that it will block residents of the Netherlands from playing its online games until it obtains a Dutch license. It hopes to do that in the second quarter of next year.
Just before the legal regulated online Dutch market went live—at the end of September—Kindred announced that it would temporarily block players from that country while it obtained legal guidance.
The legal guidance advised it not to accept any Dutch players, even if it didn’t market directly to them.
Kindred announced, “Kindred is prepared for the Dutch licensing process under the Remote Gambling Act, and has been working on the preparations for a Dutch license application including successful completion of the required external audit.”
