(Netherlands).- The Gaming Authority (Ksa) has addressed Hotel Gaming Services B.V., the license holder of the Circus Gran Casino gaming arcades, for a violation of the role model ban. The provider promoted the branch in Maastricht by using professional athletes from a Limburg ice hockey team.
Since June 2022, providers of risky games of chance are no longer allowed to use role models to advertise. This measure provides better protection for vulnerable groups, such as young adults.
The Ksa received a signal that Circus Gran Casino was making advertisements featuring a local ice hockey team of professional athletes. The athletes were seen in uniform, among other things, while playing on a machine in the gaming arcade. The team was also congratulated on winning a tournament.
Hotel Gaming Services B.V. has indicated that the legal standard was not sufficiently clear to it. Because gaming arcades offer risky games of chance, the role model ban applies to them in full. According to the Ksa, it is important that all gaming arcades are aware of this.
The gaming arcade cooperated during the conversation and immediately removed the statements in question following the conversation. The Gaming Authority will check whether the statements continue to comply with the role model ban in the future.
