In short:
- Websites should not load from Dutch locations (geo-blocking);
- Websites are not allowed use Dutch payment providers and or providers that are mainly being used by Dutch residents(iDeal);

- Kansspelautoriteit will also target affiliates;
- Operators may not use .nl extensions;
- Operations may not be advertised in Dutch language and/or via Dutch media;
- Websites cannot offer Dutch language;
