LeoVegas has been fined €500,000 [$589,000] by the Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) for failing to adequately protect players during an eight-month period last year. The KSA found that the operator failed to comply with its duty of care obligations between October 2023 and May 2024.
Under Dutch gambling regulations, operators must protect players as much as possible from excessive gambling and gambling addiction.
The regulator requested several player files from LeoVegas and found violations of the duty of care in all cases examined.
The MGM Resorts-owned B2C gaming brand failed to take timely action when a player deposited and lost tens of thousands of euros in a short period, the KSA noted.
