Dutch Court Rules that Former Owners of Illegal Online Casino Must Pay €24.6 Million that the former owners of Amsterdams Casino must pay €24,640,715 to the state following a decade-long investigation and legal case surrounding the operations of an unlicensed online casino.

In December of 2022, the matter finally came to court as the Public Prosecution Service’s sentencing demands against the organization behind Amsterdams Casino and Sheriff Gaming were heard. Yesterday, the District Court of East Brabant made its final ruling on the case.

The judge agreed that the sentence demanded by the Public Prosecution Service was appropriate. However, the court also ruled that those found guilty would each receive a reduction of 10% of their financial penalty due to the fact that the case took an exceptionally long time to come to an end.
