Question 1

Can I play with a Polish passport?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As an EU citizen you can register with a Polish passport at any casino with a KSA license in the Netherlands. You do need a BSN (Citizen Service Number) and a Dutch bank account, however.

Question 2

What if I don't have DigiD?

Accepted Answer

DigiD is not required to register at an online casino. Casinos use iDIN (bank verification) to confirm your identity. This works via the banking app.

Question 3

Can I use BLIK for depositing?

Accepted Answer

BLIK is not directly accepted in Dutch casinos. The best route: send money via BLIK to a Revolut account (Dutch IBAN), and then use iDEAL to deposit.

Question 4

Do I have to pay taxes on winnings?

Accepted Answer

No! At legal casinos (with a KSA license), the casino pays the gambling tax (37.8% in 2026). You keep 100% of your winnings. In Poland you would pay 10% above 2,280 PLN — in the Netherlands you don't.

Question 5

What is CRUKS?

Accepted Answer

CRUKS is the Central Register for Exclusion from Gambling. If you register, you will be blocked at all legal casinos, arcades and Holland Casino for a minimum of 6 months. Registration is possible on cruksregister.nl with DigiD.

Question 6

How do I recognize a legal casino?

Accepted Answer

Check the Kansspelwijzer on the KSA website. All legal casinos display the KSA logo on their site and use a .nl domain. Never play on sites without a KSA license.

Question 7

How fast can I withdraw to Poland?

Accepted Answer

Via SEPA transfer this takes 1-2 working days. With Revolut (NL IBAN) you can quickly send money to a Polish account with favorable exchange rates. Some casinos offer instant withdrawals.

Question 8

Is there Polish language customer support?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, most Dutch casinos do not offer Polish-language support. Most offer Dutch and English. Check our reviews to see if a specific casino has Polish support.

Question 9

What if I don't have a BSN yet?

Accepted Answer

Make an appointment at the RNI counter in your municipality. Bring your Polish passport. A BSN will be issued immediately and is free. Without a BSN you cannot register at legal casinos.

Question 10

Are all Dutch casinos safe?

Accepted Answer

All casinos with a KSA license meet strict safety requirements. However, some have received fines or warnings from the KSA. Always check our reviews to see the full KSA record of each casino.

Question 11

What is the difference between gambling in Poland and in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

In the Netherlands you have more choice (30+ legal sites vs 1 in Poland), you do not pay tax on winnings and you are protected by CRUKS. Registration goes through BSN instead of PESEL, and iDEAL replaces BLIK.
