In a move aimed at enhancing player protection, Mayor Weerwind announced proposed amendments to the Remote Gambling Act (KOA) in December. The submission to the European Commission occurred on 28 February, initiating a standstill period until 29 May for review by the Commission and member states.<\/p>\n

One significant amendment suggests alterations to Article 3.19 of the KOA, advocating for players to set their bet limits independently, rather than adhering to preset amounts. This aims to prevent undue influence on players.<\/p>\n

Additionally, operators would be required to establish a \u201ccontact point\u201d as outlined in Article 3.19.d. Operators must reach out to players who deposit amounts exceeding specific thresholds, based on age brackets.<\/p>\n

Another proposed amendment, highlighted in Article 3.5, mandates that all betting activity, including wins and losses, be presented in euros. However, exceptions may apply for poker, where transactions might be in US dollars.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Article 3.5.a suggests implementing warning messages for players placing bets higher than the minimum, reminding them of the option to reduce their bet size and displaying the minimum bet amount.<\/p>\n
