The Dutch regulator (KSA) believes the country has a 95% channelisation rate, thanks in part to strict rules around advertising. However, data on player spend and revenue suggests the rate is at 87% as players spend more when using illegal sites. KSA figures also reveal the market’s GGR increased 21.2% year-on-year in 2023 to €4bn [$4.4bn].
Two new reports analysing the size and scope of players and revenue in the gambling sector were released by the KSA on 10 October. The Autumn 2024 Monitoring Report takes a look into player behaviours and, using estimates from Nielsen-owned market research company GfK and H2 Capital, claims the market’s current channelisation rate is between 87% and 95%, well above the 80% target set in 2021.
