Online casinos must pay back gambling customers' pre-legalized losses.

A hundred or more Dutch gamblers as well as online gamers are suing online casinos for the losses they incurred prior to the Netherlands legalizing online gambling. The gambling sites should never have permitted them to participate, according to their attorney Benzi Loonstein, per an article in the Volkskrant.
Loonstein claims that his clients are "typically young and vulnerable persons" who have been deeply indebted. While he recognizes that the players bear some of the blame in this situation, he also makes the case that bonuses from online casinos encouraged the players' addiction problems.
