33 of 79 AI chats named an unlicensed Dutch casino
A Dutch study found AI chat tools naming & sometimes mislabelling unlicensed online casinos as KSA-approved, according to XY Legal Solutions.
The hit
Microsoft Copilot built a “Top 50 legal casinos” list that wrongly marked unlicensed brands as KSA-approved & linked to Cruks, according to a Dutch study by XY Legal Solutions. All 10 AI chat & search tools tested named at least one operator without a Dutch gambling licence.
Why it matters
Dutch bettors asking an AI assistant for casino recommendations may be pointed towards sites with no licence, no Cruks self-exclusion checks & no KSA oversight. Three tools presented unlicensed brands in ways implying legality.
The record
| Study period | August–September 2026 (XY Legal Solutions) |
|---|---|
| Tools tested | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok & DeepSeek, among 10 total |
| Interactions flagged | 33 of 79 named an unlicensed operator |
| Single-prompt failures | 4 tools named unlicensed sites after one question |
| Mislabelling as legal | Mistral Le Chat & Google Gemini also implied legality |
What happens next
Watch whether the KSA or Dutch trade bodies push AI providers for fixes, & the outcome of VNLOK’s separate court case against Meta over unlicensed gambling ads.
