KSA Orders Endorphina to Cut Ties With Offshore Gambling Sites Accessible From the Netherlands

The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), the Dutch Gambling Authority, has issued a binding instruction to Endorphina Limited in Malta and Endorphina Ltd. in Cyprus, telling the supplier to stop partnering with unlicensed gambling websites that can still be accessed from the Netherlands. For high-risk PSPs, the point is obvious: in the Dutch market, supplier-level exposure is now part of the enforcement picture, not just operator-level exposure.

1. The KSA said it found Endorphina’s online casino games available on websites that are not licensed in the Netherlands but continue to target Dutch residents and do not restrict player access. The regulator said its inspectors were able to access the games between January 12 and February 19, 2026.
2. The instruction gives Endorphina two weeks to comply starting on Monday, November 2. The KSA has not taken immediate punitive action; instead, it is using the instruction as the first compliance step.
3. According to the regulator, it has the right to require licensed suppliers, operators, and their intermediaries to avoid partnerships with gambling websites that are not licensed in the Netherlands but remain accessible to local players. The KSA said it identified 15 instances involving specific Endorphina titles, including Fortune Snake, Bad Santa, Hell Hot 100, and Royal X-Mass.
4. The regulator said at least 28 websites that are not currently licensed in the country were accessed in this way, and that none of them made any attempt to block access for Dutch users. Endorphina, for its part, said the regulator may not be correctly establishing what games were offered by those offshore operators.
5. Endorphina also said it runs its Malta and Cyprus entities to serve different markets and that it had not received information from the regulator about the third-party misuse of its content. The KSA rejected that line of argument, saying it was irrelevant to the instruction.

The Netherlands is not the first market to push pressure down the supply chain. Sweden introduced rules a few years ago that explicitly hold suppliers responsible, and the Dutch move points in the same direction: if your content shows up on unlicensed sites that can still take local players, the regulator may decide you are part of the problem set, even if you are not the operator of record.
