    So they do not offer a license, but are fining someone for not having one.

    Sounds a bit ridiculous to me!

    I think this statement takes away a bit of the ridiculousness :

    Permits cannot be requested at this moment for the provision of online gambling. Authorities are working on a law that makes that possible. Until then gambling via internet is banned in the Netherlands. Source

    Fine them now, and offer them a license later. Great plan!

    Yeah true. I think I am looking at the wording of it a little too much.

    If it is illegal, I would have expected the reason they were fined is because it is illegal, not because they did not have a license.
    Get what I mean?

    I've worked at an online casino for too long....

    When companies decide to do this sort of thing, it puts the gaming industry in a predicament which is not fair to licensed operators. Companies operating without a license should not only be fined but also banned for ever operating or attempting to apply for a license.

    If you lived in Curacao it would make perfect sense!

    Permit or not, the situation of the online casinos is not clear in a lot of countries. They forbid, but everyone plays everywhere. Except when the software block countries.
