The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) is pursuing €840,000 ($939,000) in accrued penalties from 3-102-897762 LTDA after finding that its Starzino website continued offering unlicensed gambling in the Netherlands.
An update dated 9 November refers to a collection decision signed on 17 July. The amount arose from non-compliance with an earlier enforcement order, rather than a newly imposed administrative fine.
KSA issued the order on 6 March, giving the company four weeks to stop allowing participation from the Netherlands, for which it held no Dutch licence.
The instruction covered starzino.com and other websites or applications owned or managed by the operator. It specified penalties of €420,000 per week, or part of a week, capped at €840,000.
The compliance deadline expired on 3 April. During follow-up checks on 7 and 14 April, an inspector could still log into Starzino using existing account details and participate in gambling, according to the decision.
KSA concluded that the operator had failed to end the breach and had therefore accrued two penalties, reaching the maximum payable.
The original investigation had found that users in the Netherlands could create accounts, deposit funds and gamble without technical measures blocking their access.
The regulator said the accrued penalties had not been paid when it decided to proceed with collection. Its July decision required payment within six weeks.
The case follows KSA’s publication of a binding instruction against Endorphina concerning games accessible on unlicensed websites. The supplier disputes aspects of the regulator’s account.
Additionally, KSA estimated that licensed operators captured 59% of online gambling revenue in H1 2026, despite a substantially higher share of players using licensed services, suggesting greater average losses among illegal-site users.
The Netherlands’ national gambling self-exclusion register, Cruks, had 120,200 registrations as of 31 July 2026
