The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has levied a substantial fine of €886,000 against 711 B.V. for failing to uphold its duty of care obligations towards players. This significant penalty underscores the regulator's commitment to enforcing stringent player protection measures within the Dutch market.

In addition to the fine imposed on 711 B.V., the KSA also issued a formal warning to TOTO online, a subsidiary of Nederlandse Loterij.
