Kansspelautoriteit at Toezichtfestival 2025
On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, the Kansspelautoriteit (Dutch Gambling Authority) attended the seventh edition of the Toezichtfestival (Supervision Festival), which took place at the NBC Congrescentrum in Nieuwegein this year. The festival, organized by the Inspectieraad (Inspection Council), had the theme: ‘Step forward. Impact on the future’. The Kansspelautoriteit held an interactive presentation on the duty of care during the Toezichtfestival.
During the event, supervisors from various sectors came together to share knowledge and strengthen collaborations. The Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa) participated in several workshops at the Toezichtfestival.
In addition, Peter Rampertaap (Operational Coordinator) and Henk Dijkstra (Senior Supervisor – Project Leader) gave a presentation on behalf of the Ksa at the festival about the ‘Open norm in the gambling world’.
During this presentation, the question of how to supervise an open norm such as the duty of care in the Netherlands was discussed. Previous research showed that there are significant differences in the way Dutch online casinos implement this norm.
Positive and Negative Effects of the Measures
The interactive presentation discussed the challenges the Ksa encounters when enforcing an open norm. The creation of the new policy rules, the market’s response to them, and the positive and negative effects of the adjustments were also discussed.
On LinkedIn, the Kansspelautoriteit described its presence at the Toezichtfestival as ‘valuable’, with room for insights, meetings, and discussions about the future of supervision.
In addition to the Ksa, other supervisory authorities were also represented at the Toezichtfestival, including the following:
- Autoriteit Consument & Markt (Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets);
- Nederlandse Zorgautoriteit (Netherlands Healthcare Authority);
- Autoriteit Financiële Markten (Authority for the Financial Markets);
- Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority);
- Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit (Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority);
- De Nederlandsche Bank (The Dutch Central Bank).
