The Dutch government has notified the Stake F1 team, commonly known as Sauber, asking it to operate under a different team name this weekend for the Dutch Grand
at Zandvoort, since unlicensed gambling advertisement and promotion is banned by the law in the Netherlands.
Gambling advertising is not prohibited in the Netherlands, but Stake operates without a license in the country, making its use illegal. Consequently, Stake has implemented geo-blocking to restrict access for Dutch users. The Dutch betting authority, Kansspelautoriteit , has requested that Formula 1 and Stake refrain from promoting the team's name at Zandvoort this weekend. The Ksa deems it "undesirable" for illegal gambling to be advertised at an event with such a large audience reach.
"According to the gambling legislation, it is prohibited to offer games of chance without a license, to advertise these illegal games of chance or to promote participation in them. Online gambling providers without a license must therefore take measures to prevent participation from the Netherlands, for example by applying geoblocks. Dutch players will then not be able to reach the website. Stake has applied such a geoblock.
