Besluit kansspelen op afstand - Decision remote gambling https://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0044773/2021-04-01 General description: (more detailed descriptions below) Hoofdstuk 1. Algemene bepalingen Chapter 1. General terms In this chapter, they mostly define certain words to prevent confusion Hoofdstuk 2. De vergunning Chapter 2. The license Here they mostly talk about the license the casino’s have to have to do this. They mention what it contains, the period it is valid and to cancel it.

Hoofdstuk 3. De vergunninghouder Chapter 3. The licensee This chapter is dedicated to the licensee. It says who can have a license and the conditions the licensee has to have.

Hoofstuk 4. De organisatie van kansspelen op afstand Chapter 4. The organisation of remote gambling Most of the information is in this chapter. They discuss a lot, but what might be interesting is that they also talk about integrity, the rules licensee have to follow and safety measures so all the games can be played fairly. I made 4.14 yellow, since I think it has the most to do with gambling addiction, but also look casually through the other articles.

Hoofdstuk 5. Toezicht en handhaving Chapter 5. Supervision and enforcement Talks about the procedures the licensee has to follow. Who to report to, measures it has to take for information safety etc.

Hoofdstuk 6. Wijziging andere besluiten Chapter 6. Modification other decisions Not important I think. There is no real information here.

Chapter 7. Slotbepalingen Chapter 7. Final provisions Not too important as well. It states the rights of the minister I think.
