Notably, Dutch customers could easily register and play online games, indicating that MKC Limited hadn\u2019t set up essential technical barriers. These barriers, such as blocking Dutch IP addresses or rejecting Dutch addresses during registration, are crucial for compliance. Moreover, the KSA noted a concerning issue regarding the age verification process at Betworld247. The site did not visibly verify the age of its players, a critical requirement to prevent underage gambling.<\/p>\n<p>Ren\u00e9 Jansen, the <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/netherlands-ksa-board-chairman-rene-jansen-to-step-down-in-2024\/\">outgoing chairman<\/a> of the KSA, highlighted this lapse. \u201cAt MKC Limited, players could enter an age themselves without clear identification. This means that their website is also accessible to very vulnerable, underage players,\u201d Jansen explained. He stressed that such neglect is a serious offense, exposing at-risk groups like minors to gambling. Jansen\u2019s comments emphasize the necessity of stringent age verification in the industry, a standard practice in regulated markets to offer robust player protection.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/mkc-limited-hit-with-1m-fine-by-dutch-gaming-authority-ksa\/\">MKC Limited Hit with $1M Fine by Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA)<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dutch gaming authority, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has announced another major enforcement action.
