The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has issued a warning to Scgo Limited, operator of the VBet brand, for offering prohibited betting options.
During heightened surveillance around the World Cup, the KSA found that the operator was offering live bets on events such as throw-ins, fouls, corner kicks and offsides.
After being notified of the breach, the operator immediately removed the prohibited betting options from its offering.
In its Guidelines on the Integrity of Sports Betting, published on 18 December 2025, the KSA outlined which betting options may and may not be offered. Licence holders are responsible for ensuring their betting offerings comply with these rules.
The KSA stated that betting on specific events during a match carries an increased risk of match manipulation and is therefore prohibited.
VBet had previously been warned by the KSA about offering prohibited betting options. As another violation has now been identified, the regulator has issued a formal warning to the operator. The KSA added that further breaches could result in enforcement action.
Last week, the KSA ordered Kevenga Limitada to stop offering unlicensed online gambling in the Netherlands through betspino.com, with potential penalty payments capped at €1.28m ($1.5m).
The regulator inspected the website on 10 and 25 February 2026. An investigator using a Dutch IP address was able to create an account, with the Netherlands, the +31 telephone code and euro currency already selected during registration.
The KSA is very active in enforcing action against unlawful gambling practices.In June, KSA warned Smart Gaming, which operates Betnation, after a technical failure allowed players to gamble without the required checks against the Cruks self-exclusion register.
Unlike in other countries, online players have had less success with legal cases in the Netherlands. Indeed, the Dutch Supreme Court has ruled against them recovering losses from before the market's liberalisation
