Dutch Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin has warned three television broadcasters including RTL and SBS to stop making 
Ballin, a long-time anti-poker advocate, said in response to calls from two Dutch MPs for a more liberal regime for poker, “The broadcasters have overstepped the mark. These programmes give people the idea that poker is completely legal and harmless.”
Poker in the Netherlands is heavily regulated and can only be played in state-run Holland Casinos despite the fact that the Dutch poker association says 800,000 play the game in the country.
