Dutch gambling regulator the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has so far received 28 applications from operators seeking to offer online gambling products in the country’s regulated market, which is scheduled to open later this year.

The KSA this month launched the licencing process after the new national Remote Gambling Act came into effect on 1 April, with the market set to launch on 1 October.

According to the KSA, all 28 applicants have paid the required €48,000 (£41,578/$57,787) fee as part of their submission.

If successful with their applications, these operators will be permitted to offer online games of chance via approved websites when the market opens in October.
