AmsterdamAhead of the proposed regulation on online gambling in Holland, Dutch banks will be asked to block payments to all gambling sites operating there according to DutchNews.nl.

Online gambling is deemed illegal in the country and the junior justice minister Fred Teeven told Dutch News that the government hopes banks will begin blocking credit card transactions to and from these sites including online poker sites.

Banks will receive a “blacklist” via the Dutch banking association but enforcing the payment blockade will be voluntary.
