As the ruling coalition parties, through a series of amendments (1, 2, 3) proposed by Representatives Jeroen van Wijngaarden (VVD) and Mei Li Vos (PvdA), already reached an agreement, it seems all but certain that the bill will pass – albeit with a controversial uniform tax rate for both online and land-based gaming of 29% of GGR. Additional amendments may be adopted during the debate itself.
Following the debate in the Lower House, the bill must also pass a yes or no vote in the Senate. At this point, it seems likely that the Senate will consider the bill after the summer.
The debate will be streamed live through this website .
