The Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa) has imposed a €750,000 fine on Tulipa Ent Limited for inadequate implementation of duty of care obligations. Tulipa operates the ComeOn gambling platform in the Netherlands and failed to sufficiently protect players from excessive gambling behavior between December 2023 and September 2024.
Investigation Reveals Systematic Failures
The Dutch gambling authority examined 10 player files of young adults with high losses and discovered duty of care violations in every case. The investigation revealed that warning signs of problematic gambling behavior went undetected, resulting in delayed or inappropriate interventions.
Young adult players lost thousands of euros within extremely short timeframes, while the platform allowed excessively high deposit limits to be established. These failures directly contradicted regulatory requirements designed to protect vulnerable demographics from gambling-related harm.

Warning
Dutch gambling operators must implement automated monitoring systems to track player behavior patterns and spending velocity. Failure to detect warning signs within 24-48 hours of excessive activity can result in substantial penalties under the updated Ksa enforcement guidelines.
