- Article] The liberalization and (re)regulation of Dutch gambling markets
-
This paper deals with the liberalization of Dutch gambling markets, in particular the (re)regulation
of these markets after 2002. It is argued that during the 1990s a neo-liberal ‘‘risk regime’’
of gambling regulation replaced the traditional moralizing and restrictive gambling policies.
However, this risk regime has recently been challenged by the development of Internet gambling,
the discussions about the ‘‘Services Directive’’ in the European Parliament and cases
brought to the European Court of Justice. These circumstances are redefining the European
context for national gambling policies and gambling organizations. Together with a growing
risk awareness, this has caused the Dutch government to reconsider its gambling policies. This
paper outlines the basic features of the risk regime of gambling regulation, and makes clear
that after a decade of great leniency and tremendous market growth, the Dutch gambling markets,
including casinos, lotteries and slot machines, were confronted with serious backwashes.
Keywords: gambling, risk regimes, regulation, Netherlands, European Union.
