荷兰政府要求在线赌博运营商反馈新博彩法

　　荷兰政府发出一个声明，要求欧洲在线赌场运营商在1月28日参加一个会议关于政府未来的计划调节的在线博彩市场的新税法。

　　新荷兰政府联盟由总理大臣马克·鲁特已经邀请欧洲的在线游戏博彩公司在1月28日参加一个会议。本次会议将为在线赌场运营商提供一个机会来表达他们的意见，对政府打算尽快实施新的在线赌博的法律。

　　博彩运营商接受了邀请是由荷兰博彩委员会写的一封信。信中请求解决公司反映的各种问题，如在线博彩税，玩家的保护措施，博彩公司的许可证，更以它们在会议上讨论。

　　此举意味着，荷兰政府至少在一定程度上听博彩运营商的意见。这将有助于避免一些问题，如非常高的税或缺乏流动性的国家，如法国或德国忽略博彩运营商的反馈。

　　如果荷兰政府确实会听运营商的意见，那么在荷兰真钱网上游戏市场将成为一个例子，其他欧洲国家仍是一头雾水，不知道正确的做法来管制在线赌场。

　　早在2010年关于监管网上真钱游戏的会谈已经在荷兰开始，但当时执政的政府打算追求更多的保护主义做法。运营商最大担心是一个非常不利的税收制度的实施，将迫使他们离开这个国家。

　　但从那时起，一个新的联合政府成立，从一开始就明确提出，将规范在真钱网上赌博，将公平地面面俱到。政府首先提到了于2012年10月在网上赌博合法化。

　　与此同时，荷兰的博彩管理局要求运营商活跃在该国退出市场，直到新的监管框架来实现。将循环后，运营商遵守有利时，将启动发牌程序，而留在国内的运营商将被列入黑名单的危险。

　　The Dutch government issued a statement requesting European online casino operators to take part in a meeting on January 28th regarding the government's future plans to regulate the online casino market.

　　The new Dutch government coalition led by Prime Minister Mark Rutte has invited Europe's online gaming companies to take part in a meeting on January 28th. The meeting will offer operators' an opportunity to express their views in regards to the new online gambling law the government intends to implement soon.

　　Operators received the invitation in a letter written by the Dutch Gaming Commission. The letter requests the addressed companies to reflect on various issues such as online gaming taxes, player protection measures, number of licenses and more in order to discuss them at the meeting.

　　This move means that the Dutch government will - at least to some extent - listen to operators' feedback. This could help avoid problems such as those of very high taxes or lack of liquidity in countries - like France or Germany - that ignored operators' feedback.

　　If the Dutch government will indeed listen to operators' suggestions then the Dutch real money online gaming market might become an example to other European countries that are still confused and aren't sure about the proper approach to online casino regulation.

　　Talks regarding the regulation of real money online gaming began in the Netherlands as back as 2010 but at that time the ruling government intended to pursue a more protectionist approach. Operators' biggest fear was the implementation of an extremely disadvantageous taxation regime that would have forced them to leave the country.

　　However since then a new government coalition was formed that made it clear from the very beginning that it would regulate real money online gambling in a manner that would be fair to every party involved. The government first mentioned the legalization of online gambling in October 2012.

　　At the same time the Dutch Gaming Authority requested operators active in the country to leave the market until the new regulatory framework is implemented. Operators that complied will be looped upon favorably when licensing procedures will be launched while operators that stayed in the country will risk to be blacklisted.
