And this is where, this turns into a news, which is after all not great for dutch players at all. Until yesterday they were able to play on all the major sites, but now there is pretty much only GG Poker left. So dutch players are getting much less choise without getting anything positive in return other than the comfort, that now some dutch authority is monitoring the GG Poker operation.

But its pretty questionable, how important that really is, when the now banned sites are being monitored by authorities in several other countries already. So what this really truly does is probably to push dutch players towards sites like ACR or Betonline, which dont give a f u c k about regulations in any part of the world.

Also its a bit misleading to say, that online poker is now "legal" in the Netherlands. The right word is "regulated". Until yesterday it was unregulated, which mean, it was neither legal or illegal. It was, what is known as a "grey market", which is why, sites like PokerStars, 888 Poker and PartyPoker were operating there. They did not break any laws doing so, because there were no laws regulating their activity.
