Best Solana Casinos in Netherlands (2026) | SOL Gambling Sites

Solana Gambling Laws in Netherlands

The Netherlands implemented one of Europe's strictest online gambling frameworks through the Remote Gambling Act (Wet Kansspelen op Afstand - KOA), effective October 1, 2021. The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) oversees licensing and enforcement, granting permits only to operators meeting stringent requirements including player protection measures, addiction prevention tools, and responsible advertising standards.

KSA-licensed casinos face numerous restrictions: mandatory CRUKS self-exclusion registry checks, deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and prohibition of bonus wagering requirements exceeding 1x. Advertising faces heavy restrictions including banned celebrity endorsements and limited marketing hours.

Cryptocurrency gambling occupies a particularly grey area in the Netherlands. The KSA has not licensed any crypto-only casinos, and Bitcoin payments are not available at licensed Dutch operators. Dutch players accessing offshore crypto casinos technically violate the spirit of KOA, though enforcement focuses on operators via IP blocking and payment processor restrictions rather than individual players. The Dutch market is notably restrictive—many international casinos voluntarily geo-block Netherlands to avoid KSA attention.

Tax Implications in Netherlands

The Netherlands taxes gambling winnings under a unique prize tax system (Kansspelbelasting). For games of chance, a 30.9% tax applies to winnings exceeding €449 from a single game or bet. Operators typically withhold this tax automatically for licensed platforms.

For skill games (poker, sports betting), taxation follows income tax rules if gambling constitutes regular income. Recreational players generally aren't taxed on skill-based winnings, but professional players face standard income tax rates reaching 49.5% at higher brackets.

Cryptocurrency gambling at offshore sites creates complexity. Technically, Dutch residents should report foreign gambling income, and crypto-to-EUR conversions may trigger wealth tax (Box 3) obligations. The Dutch 'vermogensbelasting' taxes net wealth above €57,000 at approximately 1.2% annually, potentially affecting large crypto holdings.

In practice, enforcement against individual offshore crypto gamblers is minimal, though the KSA increasingly cooperates with financial institutions to identify unlicensed gambling transactions.
