The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has shut down a Facebook group that organised illegal online bingo games.
“Dordtse Queens” used the social media platform to promote the activity, with its eight administrators advertising the games on their respective Facebook pages. Referring to their interconnected nature, the KSA called the ad-hoc network “a spider web of illegal bingos”.
In an even more shocking twist, the regulator disclosed that minors were also able to participate. However, the KSA put a swift end to this activity, reporting it to Facebook who removed six pages that were associated in one way or another with Dordtse Queens.
“For some time now, the KSA has been reporting to Facebook if the platform is used for illegal practices,” remarked the Dutch regulator. “Offering a game of chance without a licence is prohibited in the Netherlands.”
It went on to reiterate its policy regarding any party that seeks to offer games of chance without a licence and issued a warning, saying: “The KSA monitors that participants in games of chance can do so safely and that participation in illegal games of chance is prevented. Organisers of illegal lotteries and bingos risk a large fine.”

A man who deprived a charity of £285,000 as he ran a lottery on its behalf has been jailed for three months.
Simon Rydings, 50, of Edinburgh, will also pay £1,000 compensation to Sheffield Hospitals Charity within 18 months of leaving prison.
Birmingham Magistrates’ Court heard how Rydings failed to pass on £285,000 of lottery proceeds to the charity whilst he was Chief Executive Officer of Capen Limited – a gambling operator with an external lottery manager licence.
In a case prosecuted by the Gambling Commission Rydings admitted misusing lottery proceeds (under the 2005 Gambling Act) between 1 January 2018 and 31 March 2020.
Rydings told the court he had spent all the money on other costs running the business and that he did not have the funds to return all £285,000.
Helen Venn, Gambling Commission Executive Director, said: “Lotteries in this country can only be run for good causes – charities and other non-commercial organisations who run lotteries rely heavily on the income they receive from lotteries to support the important work they do.
“Simon Rydings completely failed as the CEO of a company with a Gambling Commission licence (ELM) and is now paying the price.
“Consumers in this country deserve to know that when they enter a lottery they are helping support their chosen cause – and we will not hesitate to take action against individuals who misuse funds in the way Rydings did.”

Developer of innovative jackpot games given the green light to launch its content in the UK market with its debut set for early next year
HITSqwad, an innovative new game studio on a mission to become a leading provider of jackpot games, has been granted a Remote Gambling Software Licence by the UK Gambling Commission allowing it to make its online games available to operators in the UK market.
Securing this licence forms part of wider plans to launch its cutting-edge jackpot games in core regulated markets around the world, with its first titles set to debut to players in the UK via Playzido early next year.
HITSqwad is run by a team of experienced industry experts that have identified a gap in the market for flexible and customisable jackpot games that are fully compliant with regulatory requirements in each of the jurisdictions that its operator partners wish to target.
The provider is developing a series of jackpot themes, each of which will have a family of associated games. This will ensure its portfolio is varied while also allowing operators to identify the themes and brands their players engage with and then add more titles.
Each title will be developed with a mobile-first approach and will deliver unrivalled player engagement by providing a range of exciting features to trigger each jackpot.
Charl Geyser, CEO of HITSqwad, said: “Securing our UK Gambling Commission licence is a milestone moment for HITSqwad. Not only is it our first major licence, but it allows us to launch our content into one of the world’s largest online gambling markets.
“Our strategy going forward is to now secure additional licences in other key regulated markets with the objective being to provide as many operators and their customers with access to our innovative and exciting jackpot games as possible.
“Our games and platform have been built to be flexible and customisable, allowing us to easily ensure they meet the rules and regulations in each of the markets we target. The UK is a significant market for us and the wider industry, and we are thrilled to have been given the green light to enter the fray.”
