Authorities argue that influencers, with their large online followings, pose a real risk to underage and vulnerable groups when they glamorize or normalize gambling without restrictions.<\/p>\n<h2>What Triggered the Penalty<\/h2>\n<p>The three influencers posted videos showing themselves gambling with offshore operators, going as far as encouraging their followers to try the same. According to the KSA, this kind of content directly violates Dutch gambling law, which prohibits any form of promotion for providers that lack a local license.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator stated that all three had been warned previously. Despite those reminders, they continued uploading new material. That led to the decision to issue penalties and enforce strict removal deadlines.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

Many of their followers are under 25, making them especially vulnerable to problem gambling.<em> \u201cInfluencers often appeal to a young and therefore vulnerable target group,\u201d<\/em> the KSA explained.
