Betsson AB is known to be one of the greatest sports betting sites in Europe. According to EGR magazine, it has been confirmed that Betsson AB pulled out of Netherlands market.

Betsson is the company behind Dutch focused online casino brands Oranje and Kroon. The company told Betsson that they ceased promotion in order to avoid any legal consequences in future as the market will be regulated soon.

Betsson told the media that they want to comply with the regulations and policies that are in the market. Betsson AB brands will not accept players or any bets from IP addresses from Netherlands.

The regulator to this market gave a warning to operators in 2014 that they did not acquire their licenses if they continued offer services to their customers prior to the market regulations that were planned. The Dutch regulator is known as Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).

Betsson AB’s withdrawal came after last week’s announcement by KSA that they were making strong the advertising code through an agreement to new advertising policies with media operators in the country.

There is a build up to new online gambling rules in the Netherlands and this has prompted a couple of betting operators in Europe to withdraw from the market so as to meet with the licensing standards of approval. Some of the operators who withdrew are 888 and William Hill.

Research revealed that teenagers have debts accruing to more than $30,000 all from online betting on sports. The number of people who are seeking for help in 3 years has grown by 100%. These are findings that have been released by the Gambling Treatment Clinic at The University of Sydney.

The operator at the treatment centre pointed out that many of their patients are addicts to poker machines but most of them now are men in their youths who are troubled by online betting.

One of the originating influencers would be the popular sporting event in Australia and Wednesday night’s game where millions of people watch it. The kind of marketing going around for the online sports betting is to blame for the growth in the quantity of youths who are getting into additions related to gambling. The psychologist at the Gambling Treatment Clinic of The University of Sydney; Dr. Christopher Hunt who has served in the capacity for 8 years said that when he started out, he did not see patients in the age bracket of 18 to 25 years but they have seen a dramatic growth in the past 3 to 4 years. He says that the number has doubled and might triple if no control is taken. He says that in 2012, they have 23 patients and last year they accommodated 50.

He says that the huge number is of young men. He attributes this to the notion sports betting is the cream of online gambling and this is what young men wish to be associated with.

It’s a false belief that you would make money from your sports knowledge through sports betting

Dr. Hunt said that he was convinced that the increase in the promotion of online gambling is the cause to the rise in the fast and easy access to betting online via mobile devices. No tangible evidence can be tied to this claims but he says that the increase in advertisement of gambling activities grew the number of patients they had in their clinic.

The statement that you could make your sporting knowledge earn you money and make you a winner is a hoax and should be stopped. All it will do is land more and more people into gambling problems.
