A Dutch cross-party group has proposed a “two-strikes-and-you’re-out” rule for operators that consistently target young people in their marketing efforts.
The proposal comes as Dutch MPs look to take a tougher stance on gambling advertising. The new legislation would see any gambling operator that displays ads that reach anyone aged under 24 on two occasions have its license to operate suspended with immediate effect.
