Dutch KSA Tells Endorphina to Keep Its Slots Off Illegal Casinos
The Dutch gambling regulator (KSA) has issued a binding directive to slot supplier Endorphina. The company must stop its games from being offered to Dutch players on unlicensed websites.
The decision is dated October 19, 2026 and was published on November 2, 2026. It covers both Endorphina Limited in Malta and Endorphina Ltd in Cyprus.
The KSA found that neither company had taken adequate measures to keep its games off sites that offer gambling in the Netherlands without a licence. In the regulator’s view, this promotes unlicensed gambling and breaches the Betting and Gaming Act.
Endorphina had two weeks from the date of the decision to put adequate measures in place and report back to the regulator. The decision can be challenged with an objection.
KSA inspectors used Dutch IP addresses to play Endorphina titles on unlicensed sites in several rounds of checks between January and September 2026. The games included Hell Hot 100, Royal Xmass 2 and Sloth Game. The regulator found no technical measures stopping players in the Netherlands from accessing them.
Endorphina games were still playable on qbet.com and luckygem.com in the latest checks, even though the operators of both sites had already received penalty payment orders.
Endorphina disputed the findings. It said it found no evidence that it knowingly supplied unlicensed operators and that it checks for a valid Dutch licence before distributing its games. It added that some supply runs through licensed B2B intermediaries.
The KSA said it wants to put barriers in the way of suppliers and intermediaries that help keep unlicensed offers running.
