23 October 2026

The Dutch Gambling Authority, known as the Kansspelautoriteit or Ksa, fined EOD Code SRL 37 million euros. It is the highest fine the regulator has imposed for offering gambling without a Dutch licence. The company ran sites including Instantcasino and Skyhills, and inspectors found a dozen sites in all. The Ksa said several sites carried no visible age check and accepted cryptocurrency and other anonymous payments. The fine was based on an estimate of the operator's revenue from Dutch players. The company states on its website that it is registered in Costa Rica.
