The gaming authority (Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa) is imposing a binding instruction on hosting provider DigitalOcean. With this instruction the company is ordered to stop its services to illegal affiliate websites.

Through these websites, Dutch players are referred to websites of illegal gaming providers. This is prohibited. Because the identity of the owners of the affiliates cannot be traced, the instruction is imposed on the hosting provider because it makes the websites available in the Netherlands.

The websites casinozonderregistratie.net and nieuw-casinos.net advertise illegal gaming offerings. Offering games of chance without the proper license is prohibited in the Netherlands, as is promoting illegal gambling.

DigitalOcean must stop providing services to the illegal affiliates within four weeks of sending the designation. If not, the Ksa may impose a follow-up sanction, such as an order under penalty and/or a fine.
