(AsiaGameHub) – Players in the Netherlands can no longer access Pragmatic Play games on unlicensed online casinos, as the operator’s content has been removed from these platforms.
These unlicensed gambling sites now display a “not available in your region” message, preventing players from accessing the games.
Numerous users with a Dutch IP address are no longer able to access Pragmatic Play’s content. The cause of this restriction—whether the company acted independently or following discussions with Dutch regulators—remains unclear.
This development could mark a key step in reducing the appeal of illegal online gambling in the Netherlands, aligning with the goals of the Alliance Against Illegal Gambling established by the Dutch Gaming Authority last year.
Pragmatic Play is regarded as one of the world’s leading online casino game providers, known for popular slot titles such as Big Bass Splash, Gates of Olympus, and Sweet Bonanza. Research from Blask indicates the company holds an 11.85% market share in the Dutch online casino sector.
The provider also maintains a strong international presence. According to Blask data, Pragmatic Play is the market leader in countries including the United Kingdom, Italy, and Brazil, where its market share is reported to be close to 20%.
