  Dutch Supreme Court Affirms Validity of Pre-Regulation Online Gambling Contracts

  The Dutch Supreme Court has ruled that players are not automatically entitled to reimbursement for online gambling losses incurred before the Netherlands regulated its market in October 2021, affirming that contracts with unlicensed operators during that period are not inherently void. This decision aligns with the view that the national gambling act does not retrospectively invalidate such agreements, a stance welcomed by operators like Entain, amidst ongoing legal discussions across Europe regarding similar pre-regulation claims.
