Over a thousand Dutch and European websites—businesses, charities, freelancers—are being secretly hijacked to host illegal online casinos, with estimates soaring to 8,000. Criminals exploit weak security or expired domains, leveraging search engine trust to push gambling content to the top of results. Victims often don’t even know their sites are compromised. Old domains once tied to politicians and public figures are now fronts for shady operators, with one lawyer’s site hit by fifty casino pages. Authorities call it a “very big problem,” working with domain managers to shut down redirects—but progress is slow. The Netherlands is now spending more on illegal gambling sites than legal ones, making this a high-stakes digital battle.
