On Friday, January 22, 2016, prominent Dutch law firm Kalff Katz & Franssen hosted its Annual Gaming Industry Event. The 2016 edition was co-hosted with the International Masters of Gaming Law. With over 150 attendees from all over the world representing the online and land-based gaming industry, as well as consultants, regulators, and policy makers, the event was a huge success.

In light of recent amendments to the Dutch remote gaming bill to implement a uniform tax rate of 29%, this year’s Annual Gaming Industry Event naturally focused on taxation and enforcement with regard to remote gaming in the Netherlands. Speakers included MP Jeroen van Wijngaarden, Marja Appelman, CEO at the Netherlands Gaming Authority, and Dr. Jörg Hofmann, senior partner at Melchers Law and former president of the IMGL.
