The latest monitoring report from the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) offers a snapshot of how the Netherlands online gambling market performed through the first half of 2025. The data points to a slight rebound in revenue but lower average player losses. The KSA also highlighted strong channelisation rates and stable participation among young adults.
Gross gaming revenue (GGR) across all licensed online operators totalled EUR 308 million in Q2 2025, compared to EUR 291 million in Q1. But overall GGR fell by around 23 % year-on-year from EUR 777 million in H1 2024 to EUR 599 million in H1 2025.
Casino games played against the house continue to make up the largest share of GGR in H1 2025, followed by sports betting and peer-to-peer casino play. The report shows limited change in the overall market mix over the past year (see graphs below).
Average monthly player losses declined to EUR 119 in spring 2025, down from EUR 146 during autumn 2024. The KSA attributes this trend partly to more moderate spending patterns and responsible gaming tools introduced by operators.
In H1 2025 around 55% of players lost less than €100 per month, while roughly 10% lost more than €1,000. This distribution suggests the majority of players are engaging at lower spending levels compared to earlier periods.
In H1 2025 young adults aged 18–23 accounted for 23% of all active accounts but only 9.3% of the adult population. On average, this group loses less than half as much per month as players aged 24 and over.
The channelisation rate remains strong, with 94% of players gambling exclusively on legal sites in H1 2025. This shows continued success of regulation in diverting players away from unlicensed platforms.
In total, 5.7% of the adult population in the Netherlands took part in online gambling through licensed operators in H1 2025. The figure represents stable market participation compared to 2024.
