The Dutch government has passed new legislation that will require operators to provide data for the purposes of research into gambling harm.
The regulations, which have been published in the official government gazette, will require operators to pass anonymized data to research institutions when requested.
The data provided must include frequency of login and play, player age if aged under 24 and transaction history. It must also include details of any interventions carried out and how players responded to them.
Research institutions must inform both the executive board and the relevant license holders when research is published.
The rules say: “In practice, research institutions and the persons employed or associated with them who conduct research into gambling addiction do not always obtain the required research data easily.
“To facilitate this, the law provides that all online license holders are obliged, subject to conditions, to make anonymous data available to research institutions on request for research into gambling addiction.”
This data is important for scientific research, the development of new scientific insights into problematic gambling behavior, and the development of intervention methods tailored to the player to prevent the transition from recreational to problematic gambling behavior as much as possible.
