Holandska advokatska kancelarija je 5. decembra 2022. objavila da ima sudske pozive za 4 operatera kazina zbog njihovog ilegalnog poslovanja u Holandiji.
Nešto što mnogi igrači nisu znali je da je do oktobra 2021. onlajn kockanje bilo zabranjeno u Holandiji ako operater kazina nije imao izdatu dozvolu za kockanje od KSA (Holandska uprava za kockanje). To znači da su mnogi veliki kazino operateri (bilo da su sa sedištem na Kurasau ili sa Malte) nudili svoje usluge ilegalno u Holandiji.
Od oktobra 2021. godine KSA je počela da izdaje dozvole za kockanje i nekoliko kazina je dobilo dozvolu i legalno im je dozvoljeno da rade ovde.
Ono što je bilo nepoznato (sve dok holandska advokatska kancelarija nije ovo protresla sudskim pozivima) jeste da ako se holandski igrač ikada kockao pre ovog datuma (ili posle ako operater nema licencu KSA), njegov ugovor je nevažeći jer operateru kazina nije bilo dozvoljeno da ponudi svoje usluge ovde, zbog toga igrač ima puno pravo da podnese zahtev da dobije punu nadoknadu svog neto gubitka od kazina. Naravno, sve je to u skladu sa holandskim zakonodavstvom. Drugi argument je da će 'ilegalni' kazino verovatno ne ispuniti svoju dužnost brige, što je moglo dovesti do toga da igrači budu prevareni zbog kockanja previše ili da izgube više novca nego što su želeli. Naročito su neki kazino brendovi bazirani na Curacau poznati po nedostatku politike odgovornog igranja na primjer.
Jedini problem je što da bi podnio tužbu, igrač treba da dobije svoje lične podatke i listu transakcija kao dokaz da postoji valjan zahtjev i obavijesti kazino o ovoj stvari ili iznese slučaj na sud.
Hajde da koristimo ovu temu da razgovaramo o problemima sa kojima se igrači suočavaju i ažuriranjima advokatske firme koja je trenutno na sudu sa najmanje 4 slučaja.
On December 5th 2022 a Dutch law firm announced that it has subpoenas 4 casino operators for their illegal operation in The Netherlands.
Something that many players did not know was that until October 2021 online gambling was prohibited in The Netherlands if the casino operator did not have an issued gambling license from the KSA(Dutch Gambling Authority). This means that many big casino operators (whether Curacao or Maltese based) offered their services illegally in The Netherlands.
Since October 2021 the KSA started to issue gambling licenses and several casino's have obtained a license and are legally allowed to operate here.
What was unknown (until a Dutch law firm shaked this up with subpoenas) is that if a dutch player ever gambled before this date (or after if the operator has no KSA license) his agreement is void as the casino operator was not allowed to offer its services here, because of this the player has the full right to file for a claim to get a full refund of his/her net loss from the casino. This is all in line with Dutch legislation of course. Another argument is that 'illegal' casino's are likely to fail in their duty of care which could have led to players getting duped for gambling too much or lose more money then they wanted. Especially some Curacao based casino brands are known for the lack of a responsible gaming policy for example.
The only problem is that in order to file for such claim the player needs to get his personal data and transaction list to proof there is a valid claim and inform the casino about this matter or bring the case to court.
Lets use this thread to discuss the problems players face and updates from the law firm that is currently in court with at least 4 cases.
