The Dutch gambling regulator has ordered Endorphina to stop providing games to unlicensed gambling websites accessible to players in the Netherlands. Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) found studio’s titles on 28 domains, including seven operated by EOD Code, which received a record €37.25 million fine last month.
The order is connected to to Endorphina Limited in Malta and Endorphina Ltd. in Cyprus. The regulator hasn’t imposed a fine yet, but required both companies to take action and report back. The decision also rejects Endorphina’s arguments that the two entities are separate and that the presence of its branding does not establish responsibility for supplying the games.
KSA issues binding instruction to Endorphina
On November 2, KSA published its binding instruction which dates back to October 19 an was issued under Article 34n of the Dutch Betting and Gaming Act. The instruction requires Endorphina to take adequate measures to prevent its games from promoting unlicensed gambling in the Netherlands.
Company has two weeks to comply and inform the regulator. Possible measures include technical and contractual arrangements with operators and distributors offering Endorphina titles. KSA also mentioned that they accessed and played Endorphina games from Dutch IP addresses between January and September 2026. The titles included Hell Hot 100 and Crown Coins.
The Dutch regulator also found 28 domains across three rounds of checks. The domains included instantcasino.com, betiro.com, betblast.com, fastslots.com, goldenpanda.com, sambaslots.com and winningz.com, all operated by EOD Code. Games were available on qbet.com and luckygem.com, whose operators were already subject to penalty orders. Endorphina’s name and logo appeared on the websites, in game URLs and alongside individual titles.
Endorphina argued that its Maltese and Cypriot entities operate separately, with different licenses, contracts and game servers. According to the game studio, regulator had not established which company supplied the games and that it distributed titles through licensed B2B intermediaries.
Endorphina also stated that in July they already restricted access to its games on all websites identified by the regulator.
KSA extends enforcement to game providers
All arguments were rejected by KSA. Endorphina had not provided the results of its own investigation and that identifying the supplying entity or proving intent was not necessary to issue the instruction. During the September, the games were still available to the dutch players. Endorphina can object within six weeks, but this will not suspend the instruction. The company has not publicly responded.
KSA stated that the Endorphina decision is also aimed at raising awareness among other game suppliers. It defined a binding instruction as a less aggressive measure in terms of enforcement, especially in cases when the intermediary performs necessary services without suspecting the occurrence of illegal activities.
