Poker websites purchased to repay gamer losses in the Netherlands

Poker
A landmark case An extremely unexpected court judgment today in the Netherlands as PokerStars and Bwin have actually been purchased to reimburse over EUR400,000 in losses back to gamers, according to De Telegraaf.

This was because of the loophole that neither website had a correct Netherlands video gaming license when the losses were sustained. This made the betting arrangement null and space.

The case was advanced by 2 gamers who had actually lost cash on the websites in between 2006 and 2021. The operators argued that the losses went to other gamers on the website, not themselves, however the Dutch court disagreed.

This story sets an unsafe precedent for poker spaces that ran in the Netherlands in between 2006 and 2021, as more gamers who lost in those durations might utilize this story as a jumping-off point to claim compensations.

PokerStars are set to pay back EUR230,705 in losses along with interest and legal expenses. Bwin are set to pay back EUR187,622 as well as extra expenses.

Ideas on this judgment? Let us understand in the remarks:
