About us

Why We Do This

Online gambling was banned in the Netherlands for many years. However, hundreds of thousands of Dutch people were able to easily create accounts with gambling providers, deposit money, and receive support from Dutch-speaking staff. The legalisation of the online gambling market on October 1, 2021, allowed gambling providers to apply for a licence and offered many large illegal casinos a chance to start afresh. Gokverliesterug aims to hold online casinos accountable for the many years before this, when they made unlawful millions at the expense of (sometimes vulnerable) groups of Dutch citizens.

Who We Are

Gokverliesterug.nl is a Dutch interest organisation, established to protect the rights of Dutch consumers against illegal online gambling providers. Since most consumers lack the knowledge and resources to individually take legal action against large foreign online gambling companies, we join forces through a collective procedure. This way, the relevant online casinos can be condemned at once to refund all net losses incurred before October 1, 2021, and/or pay additional compensation.

How We Plan to Do This

Successfully conducting a collective action against large foreign gambling providers requires a professional approach. Gokverliesterug.nl works closely with several specialized parties that have gained significant experience in the legal battle against illegal online casinos in Germany. This knowledge and expertise help us pursue the case more effectively.

  • Company Icon

    Finch Dispute Resolution is a specialised Dutch law firm known for its success in handling multiple collective lawsuits.

  • Company Icon

    We have engaged a renowned European credit fund who will cover the costs of the collective lawsuit. This allows us to conduct a lengthy case if necessary, even up to the European Court. Previously, this investor helped finance thousands of German lawsuits against illegal online gambling companies.

  • Company Icon

    To verify the net losses of participants, we are supported by an experienced party that has built substantial expertise in lawsuits against online casinos in Germany.

About Participation

Gokverliesterug.nl operates on a 'no cure, no pay' basis. This means that participants do not have to pay anything for their involvement and owe us nothing if the claim is rejected. This is possible thanks to a litigation financier who takes on all financial risks, even if online casinos hide behind foreign legislation. Only if we successfully recover (a portion of) the losses will a fixed fee of 36% (including any VAT) be deducted from this amount. This percentage fairly reflects the risk we take. Gokverliesterug.nl invests substantial money upfront to cover all costs of a potentially lengthy procedure, such as legal research, lawyers, experts, and court fees. We also provide the necessary documentation, assistance in claiming gambling losses from individual casinos, and verification of these losses by an external party.
