PROMOTING GAMBLING AND GAMING FROM THE DUTCH CARIBBEAN
No specific law about advertising
In the Netherlands Antilles there is no specific law relating to advertising or promoting on-line gambling/gaming; subsequently there are no restrictions on advertising and promoting these games to Netherlands Antilles citizens or citizens of other nations.
Please note that the “Ordinance on agreements concluded electronically” (’Landsverordening overeenkomsten langs elektronische weg’), which became effective on 1 January 2001, requires an offeror of ‘commercial communication’, e.g. through the Internet, to mention, inter alia, and if applicable, the name, place of establishment and address of the offeror; effective contact details of the offeror; registration details relating to the offeror; the steps that need to be taken to conclude an electronic agreement; a specification of the product or service, the price, commission and other costs and indemnifications and the way of payment and delivery etcetera.
The Ordinance intends to remove as many uncertainties as possible and to facilitate electronic traffic as well as guaranteeing a number of fundamental values and standards in an electronic environment.
