Before the Netherlands regulated online gambling in 2021, two players lost a total of €450,000 in gambling losses. The Overijssel District Court has ordered Bwin and Pokerstars to reimburse these losses. The operators were accused of operating without a license at the time, which is why the cases were brought.
The agreements with Dutch clients were declared void by the courts due to the operators' lack of a license to lawfully operate in the country, and they were ordered to reimburse the customers for their losses.
