Dutch Gambling Regulator Bans Gambling Sponsorships at Dutch Grand Prix

Ahead of the Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, the Dutch Gambling Regulator (KSA) has issued a strict reminder that gambling advertising rules must be fully respected.

Key points include:

No gambling sponsorships allowed on teams participating in the event, regardless of whether the teams are domestic or foreign.

Displaying logos or messages from gambling companies without a Dutch license is considered illegal.

Foreign licenses do not exempt teams or advertisers from Dutch rules.

The KSA continues to strengthen consumer protection and enforce compliance across the gambling market.

Recent taxation changes inadvertently pushed some players to offshore operators, highlighting ongoing market challenges.

The regulator also recently issued warnings against three operators for non-compliance.

The message is clear: gambling ads and sponsorships at the Dutch Grand Prix are prohibited to protect consumers and maintain regulatory standards.
