Comment on More than half of young Dutch adults set to gamble this summer

A poll has revealed more than half of young adults in the Netherlands expect to gamble on sports this summer. One of the key drivers will be soccer’s European Championship tournament which commenced last Friday in Germany, with the Dutch national team winning their first game with a 2-1 success against Poland on Sunday in Hamburg. A report from NOS based on a representative study commissioned by Loket Kansspel, a government support facility for citizens with gambling problems, revealed how six in 10 young people were preparing to bet on sports. A research agency surveyed 975 young adults, aged between 18 to 24, to gauge their intentions.
