You are playing with an operator licensed by the Kansspelautoriteit. The 37.8% kansspelbelasting is levied on the operator’s gross gaming revenue — not on your individual prize.
You receive €10,000.00 net. You do not file a return and you pay nothing extra.

| Unlicensed | €3,780.00 | €6,220.00 | You file a return |

Fair Play Online, TOTO and Kansino secured new five-year licences this year. For you as a player, this is what counts: at a KSA casino your payout is net. On a lottery prize above €449, 37.8% comes off the full gross amount. Play unlicensed online, and the return lands on you.
Three regimes
Why the same amount has three outcomes
KSA online
You pay 0%. The operator remits 37.8% on what all players together lose (gross gaming revenue). Payouts to your account are net.
Lottery regime
Prizes up to €449 are free. Above that, 37.8% on the full gross prize. The Dutch organiser usually withholds. Your stake does not count.
Unlicensed online
You file a return. 37.8% on the positive result per calendar month. No €449 threshold. Plus: no CRUKS, no KSA complaints desk, no payout guarantee.
Gamby only reviews operators on the Kansspelautoriteit register, that run CRUKS, and that do not buy placement on this site. A higher RTP on an unlicensed platform is rarely the better deal after 37.8% on your monthly profit.
History
The rate since the last cut
The jump from 30.5% to 37.8% in two years is the largest since the tax was introduced. For players at a KSA casino, filing does not change — the operator’s margins do.
| Period | Rate |
|---|---|
| 2018 – Sep 2021 | 30.1% |
| Oct 2021 – 2022 | 29.0% |
| 2023 | 29.5% |
| 2024 | 30.5% |
| 2025 | 34.2% |
| from 1 Jan 2026 | 37.8% |
