Offshore sites

Illegal: only a Ksa licence allows Dutch players to be targeted. The Ksa imposes heavy fines on offshore operators (record of €24.8 million against Novatech and €1.8 million against Fortaprime in March 2026; €3.1 million against Chestoption in June 2026) and requires effective blocking of NL players. No criminal penalty for the player, but no protection.
