Adventure One offers gambling on the Dutch market under the brand name Polymarket without possessing the proper license to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Dutch Gaming Authority determines that Adventure One QSS Inc. has violated the imposed order and that a penalty payment of \u20ac420,000 has been forfeited by operation of law. The Dutch Gaming Authority proceeds with the collection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the collection decree, Polymarket argued that collecting the fine is premature and should be suspended because they have an active objection pending against the original order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company stated: \u201cAdventure One QSS Inc. disputes that the Gambling Authority had a sufficient basis on February 18, 2026, to conclude that the order had not been complied with and that the penalty had been forfeited by operation of law. Adventure One QSS Inc. states that it implemented and tested blocking measures on February 18, 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough a test on that date still allowed access to the game of chance, this was probably before all blocks had been fully rolled out, which can arise from technical factors. Adventure One QSS Inc. states that this is not negligence, but a known characteristic of the technology, and that the measures were implemented as quickly and carefully as possible within the short grace period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has imposed a penalty payment on Adventure One QSS, the operator of the prediction market Polymarket, after it was found to still be active in the Netherlands one day later than it was supposed to be.
