The Dutch regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) issued a binding order on October 19 to Endorphina Limited (Malta) and Endorphina Ltd (Cyprus). The decision was published on November 2.
The regulator found that the companies had not taken sufficient steps to keep their games off illegal sites targeting Dutch players. In its view, this facilitates the offering of unlicensed gambling and violates Article 1 of the Gambling Act.
Checks in January and February 2026 were carried out from a Dutch IP address. Inspectors found Endorphina games, including Hell Hot 100, on unlicensed sites such as Qbet, Boomerang Bet and Instant Casino. KSA first contacted Endorphina in April, and at the end of September a check of eight sites again showed its games on sites with a notable number of Dutch visitors.
In its response, the company said it does not provide content to unlicensed operators deliberately. Its position is that a game appearing on a site does not prove the company supplied it directly.
The regulator replied that intent does not matter for the order. Nor does it matter which of the two companies actually enabled the illegal offering.
The deadline was short. Endorphina had to take adequate measures no later than two weeks after the decision date. According to the regulator, preventing games from appearing on such sites does not require large-scale or complex technical changes.
The company can appeal: an objection can be filed within six weeks, but it does not suspend the order.
The recipient matters for the market. KSA is targeting the content supplier, not just the operator. In March 2026 the regulator fined operators Novatech and Fortaprime; Novatech was fined for illegally offering gambling in the Netherlands. In the regulator's 2026 work plan, B2B software suppliers working with illegal partners are also within scope of enforcement.
The next move is up to Endorphina: file an objection on time or confirm to the regulator the measures it was supposed to report to KSA.
