The Netherlands imposes a record fine of €37 million on EOD Code for operating 12 illegal gambling websites

The Kansspelautoriteit (Ksa), the Netherlands' gambling regulatory authority, has imposed a historic fine of €37 million on EOD Code SRL for offering gambling online without authorisation on the Dutch market. This is the largest economic sanction applied to date by this body to an illegal gambling operator.

The resolution, announced on October 22, 2026, affects a company that managed an extensive network of websites accessible to players located in the United States. Bajos, despite lacking the corresponding license.

The investigation began with Instantcasino, but subsequent checks made it possible to identify eleven other platforms linked to EOD Code: Skyhills, Slotmonster, Betiro, Betblast, Fastslots, Goldenpanda, Sambaslots, Winningz, Incognitocasino, Foxygold, and Luckypays.

The inspectors of the Ksa verified that they could participate in games of chance from Dutch territory through different websites of the operator, without find effective measures aimed at preventing access by the country's residents.

The authority had previously issued an order against EOD Code subject to periodic penalty payments to demand the cessation of its illegal activity.

It was also found that the platforms accepted payments using cryptocurrencies and anonymous payment methods. The KSA warns that these modalities can facilitate money laundering operations and make it difficult to trace funds.

The amount of the penalty is another particularly relevant element. Instead of applying the standard fines, the Ksa resorted to a calculation linked to the estimated turnover , considering that EOD Code had obtained income from the bets of Netherlands players in excess of the amounts that would justify the ordinary penalties.
