Blenheim Talks | Legal developments in the Dutch gambling industry
Categorie: Blenheim Talks
Join legal experts Mark van Weeren, Guusje Pannekoek and our host Saf Benaskar as they explore the latest legal developments in the Dutch gambling industry.
Mark and Guusje, both experts in gambling and gaming law delve into the claims handled by Dutch courts, highlighting the undecided nature of rulings favouring gamblers and discussing the significant recent decision in favour of gambling providers and whether this reasoning will set a precedent. They also address the serious legal issue arising from Article 1 of the Dutch Gambling Act (potentially) losing its validity and its impact on enforcement, providing insights from a recent decision denying a gambler’s claim.
From a European perspective, they discuss gambling laws and how they are considered a national affair (with no clear EU guidelines), pondering the rocky road ahead. Finally, our guests share their assessment and outlook for the gambling industry—are we headed for a jackpot, or should we hedge our bets?
