Crypto Casino Research · April 2026
View all 31 casino rankingsThe Netherlands launched its licensed online gambling market in October 2021 under the KSA (Kansspelautoriteit). The KSA blocks unlicensed offshore operators and enforces channelling. Dutch players using offshore crypto casinos without KSA licences face no criminal liability, but the government actively blocks unlicensed sites. All three Safe Choice casinos accept Dutch players.

The Remote Gambling Act (KOA) came into force in April 2021, and licensed operators began serving Dutch players in October 2021. The KSA licences operators and maintains a blacklist of unlicensed gambling sites, which Dutch ISPs are required to block. Moonbet, Duel, and Cloudbet do not hold KSA licences. Using a VPN to access blocked gambling sites is not explicitly illegal for Dutch individuals, and there are no recorded prosecutions of players. However, the Dutch government has been more active in domain blocking than most EU countries, so VPN use is typically required to maintain access.
Grey area note: Always verify current terms directly with each casino before depositing. Regulatory situations can change, and some sites may be blocked by ISPs. The information above reflects our understanding as of April 2026.
Dutch players can buy SOL, ETH, or BTC through Bitvavo (Netherlands' largest crypto exchange), Coinbase, or Kraken using iDEAL bank transfer. Bitvavo is Netherlands-based, regulated by DNB, and supports EUR-to-SOL and EUR-to-ETH with iDEAL. iDEAL payments are instant, making same-day EUR-to-SOL possible. Coinbase and Kraken also support EUR-to-SOL via SEPA. Bitvavo with iDEAL is the fastest and most local option for Dutch players.
Fastest settlement: Solana (SOL) at Moonbet averages under 12 minutes from withdrawal request to external wallet. ETH is the alternative for Duel and Cloudbet. All returns credited to withdrawable balance with no wagering conditions.
Access Guide
In Netherlands, ISPs may block gambling domains at the DNS level. A VPN routes your connection through a server in another country, bypassing those blocks. The casino sees a non-Netherlands IP address and processes your deposits and withdrawals normally. Moonbet, Duel, and Cloudbet all function without restriction when accessed via VPN.
NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark are the three most reliable options for bypassing ISP blocks. All three maintain stable connections during active casino sessions. Enable obfuscated or stealth mode if standard VPN servers are blocked in your country. Connect to a server in a nearby country for the lowest ping during play.
SOL deposits at Moonbet are processed on-chain. Your Solana wallet address and the casino's wallet address are the only data points in the transaction. No bank or payment processor is involved. Combined with VPN access, SOL deposits at Moonbet are the most private pathway available to Dutch players.
Legal note: A VPN provides access to blocked sites but does not change your legal situation in Netherlands. If accessing offshore gambling sites is restricted in your jurisdiction, VPN use does not provide legal protection. This section describes a commonly used technical method, not legal advice.
