Maarten is a Dutch investigative journalist who has covered gambling regulation and consumer protection for the better part of two decades, with the last six years focused on the Wet Kansspelen op afstand framework and the Kansspelautoriteit's enforcement record. The reporting is regulatory-investigative rather than operator-facing. The aim is to document, with citation and source-record, what the supervisory authority is actually doing, what the cross-border unlicensed market looks like for Dutch consumers, and what readers exposed to that market should understand about the protections that licensed operators are required to provide and that unlicensed operators do not. No operator brands are recommended. No promotional content is published.
