The Dutch Gaming Authority issued a formal warning to Vbet on July 17, 2026, regarding restricted wagering options offered during the World Cup. The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) identified multiple prohibited market types on the SoftConstruct-owned platform.
Regulators confirmed that Vbet allowed customers to place wagers on throw-ins, fouls, corner kicks, and offsides. These specific event categories are not permitted under current Dutch gambling legislation. The KSA noted that intensified monitoring of tournament-related activity revealed these additional compliance gaps.
This marks the second regulatory notice for the operator this year. In April, the authority previously flagged Vbet for listing own goals as a standalone betting category. The KSA stated that the newly confirmed breach warrants a formal warning, with potential enforcement measures reserved for any future infractions.
