The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has informed operators that games can only be offered to players with an active PKI certificate that is valid for a limited period of time.
Without the PKI certificate, it is not possible to verify whether a player is registered in the Chance Exclusion Central Register (Cruks), which is the central exclusion register of the gambler’s regulator in question.
KSA created Cruks on October 1, 2021 and requested the operator to refer to the register before granting access to the player.
The PKI certificate then compares the player’s data with Cruks whenever the player wants to gamble.
The operator himself responsible for the process of providing a valid certificate due to its limited validity.
Operators who ignore this information may be subject to fines.
Reminders emerge in the context of major national conversations and ongoing reforms on domestic gambling. Recently, role models in gambling-related advertising have been banned nationwide.
