Dutch regulated gambling market captures 53% of player losses despite 91% legal-only participation
  • Europe’s regulated gambling markets must balance player protection with commercial viability to keep gambling activity within licensed systems.
  • About 91% of Dutch players used only legal operators in second-half 2025, but licensed operators captured just 53% of gambling losses.
  • Excessive taxation risks squeezing operator margins, curbing investment and weakening licensed markets’ competitiveness against unlicensed alternatives.
  • UK remote gaming faces a 40% tax rate; most remote betting will face a new 25% rate from April 2027.
  • Regulatory frameworks need flexibility to accommodate new products without weakening consumer protection or financial crime safeguards.
