Netherlands: regulator issues binding directive to game supplier Endorphina

The Kansspelautoriteit says Endorphina Limited (Malta) and Endorphina Ltd. (Cyprus) did not take adequate measures to stop their games appearing on gambling sites that are illegal in the Netherlands.

What the regulator decided

In a binding directive dated 19 October 2026, the Kansspelautoriteit found that the two Endorphina companies took insufficient measures to prevent their games being offered on sites without a Dutch licence. The regulator's view is that this promotes gambling without a licence under the Dutch Betting and Gaming Act.

No fine has been announced. Endorphina can lodge an objection, so the position may change.

What this means for the register

Endorphina is a games supplier, not an operator, and is not listed in the IRLG register. No records have changed.
