Online Poker Companies Ordered Out of HollandDutch Court Rules Online Gambling Companies Must Block Citzens’ Access |
|
The Dutch supreme court has ordered international online gambling operators, including online poker sites, to install software which blocks access to citizens from Holland according to DutchNews.nl.
The ruling, which favours the Dutch Lotto over companies such as Ladbrokes and Betfair, says the onus is on online gaming companies to install software and not Dutch internet service providers to block foreign companies offering gambling services.
The ruling also indicated banks which continue to process payments for foreign operators could face prosecution.
In 2011 Dutch banks were asked to block payments to these sites ahead of proposed online gaming regulation which for now appears to have stalled.
