The Dutch door closed on Skyhills
Nederlandse Loterij told Skyhills to stop serving the Netherlands. The platform is no longer reachable from that market. Third file after Lalabet and Qbet. Not a vault house.
The notice, then the dark lobby
On 1–2 September 2026, Nederlandse Loterij — the state lottery operator — said it had ordered the people behind Skyhills to stop serving the Netherlands. After that first step, the platform is no longer reachable from the country. That is their line. This page does not add Skyhills to the vault.
Skyhills is the third unlicensed file they have opened. Lalabet came first. Qbet is the other. A Dutch court sided largely with Nederlandse Loterij on Lalabet earlier this year. The Qbet hearing is listed for late 2026.
What they said
Arjan Blok, CEO, on the Skyhills walk: the site used sly advertising, including on TikTok, aimed at Dutch players and especially young people. They can gamble there with no safeguards, with all the risks that follow. That is unacceptable.
He also said it was encouraging to see the site go offline after the first action. Nederlandse Loterij asked for more of the corporate structure behind the door, and said companies and people tied to the platform sit in Costa Rica, North Macedonia, and the United Kingdom.
A closed door is a closed door
A block is a block. We do not coach a tunnel around one. If a market is closed, the walk is over. The VPN note on this site is VPN and casino terms — terms, not a hole in the wall.
This page prints no welcome, no cashier clock, and no tracked door. Houses we already walk sit on casinos. If you chase a chest, read the small print and stay on responsible rails. More notes live on news.
