Prediction markets in the Netherlands
Of the 23 platforms we review, 6 are open to residents of the Netherlands, 4 with restrictions and 5 exclude them. For 8 the published terms do not say either way.
Online gambling is licensed by the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) and financial markets are supervised by the AFM. Several platforms restrict Dutch residents or limit them to closing positions.
Each line reports what the platform’s own terms say, with the source we read and when. It is not legal advice, and a platform can still refuse an individual account. Last checked 26 Sept 2026.
