Dutch Regulator Orders Endorphina to Block Its Games on Unlicensed Sites

The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has issued a binding order to Endorphina Limited in Malta and Endorphina Ltd. in Cyprus. The regulator found that the companies' games were available on unlicensed sites accessible from the Netherlands. The decision is dated 19 October and was published on 2 November. The companies were given two weeks to comply.

The order does not include an immediate fine. However, sanctions could be imposed if the companies are found to have failed to comply. The KSA noted that its inspectors accessed Endorphina games on unlicensed sites using Dutch IP addresses between 12 January and 19 February 2026. The regulator documented 15 examples, including Hell Hot 100, Royal X-mass, Bad Santa, Wild Love, Thunder Crown and Fortune Snake. The KSA also stated that there was no technical measure in place to prevent Dutch players from accessing these games.

Endorphina was informed of the findings in April. Follow-up checks showed that the games remained playable on unlicensed sites until 30 September. In the broader investigation, Endorphina content was reported to be present on at least 28 unlicensed sites. Separately, the KSA took different actions against Spinstar and Luckygem. EOD Code SRL was fined 37.25 million euros for offering unlicensed online gambling in the Netherlands.
