Netherlands will be "lenient" with online bingo during COVID-19 lockdown

[The Buzz]

Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) announced it has "decided to be temporarily lenient" in cases where online bingo is "organized by people with a good heart."

The Ksa sees a large increase in the number of bingos that are offered online with the aim of taking people out of their isolation.

There are also many more reports about online bingos than before the corona crisis. Although offering a game of chance with which a prize can be won without a license is not allowed, the Ksa is in these times very nice for ideal online bingos. On the other hand, the Ksa is extra sharp on bingos that are organized for commercial reasons and / or with which people are cheated.

The Ksa, regulator in the gambling market, understands that in these times of Corona there are initiatives to give people a fun pastime or to get them out of their isolation without having to leave their home. These are often online bingo organized by people with a good heart. In view of the special circumstances, the Ksa has decided to be temporarily lenient in these cases. Obviously, that courtesy stops as soon as bingo is organized to earn money or scam people. In other words, if people see their opportunity to take advantage of the current situation.

That's kind of arbitrary. Seems like they are going for a media grab. The condition they have of having to be "organized by people with a good heart." is so arbitrary. That means they are sitting back and not doing anything for a while, with a spin.

I agree. I also find the phrase "people with a good heart" to be completely meaningless. How is that defined?
