For years, many online casinos operated illegally in the Netherlands, taking advantage of players without the necessary licenses. These unregulated operators not only violated Dutch gambling laws but also exposed players to unnecessary risks. As a result, the Dutch Gambling Authority (Kansspelautoriteit) has imposed hefty fines on such casinos for their unlawful activities. Given this context, the demand for refunds by players who lost significant amounts of money is not only justified but essential in holding these operators accountable for their illegal actions.
