At the end of the Period and following policy changes published by the Dutch Gambling Authority ( the KSA ) , the Group took the decision to cease provision of services in the Netherlands from 1 October 2021. The Group continues to believe the Netherlands represents an attractive medium - term opportunity and intends to apply for a local licence in the coming months . Notwithstanding this unforeseen development within the Netherlands , the Board remains confident that the performance of the Group during the current year will be in line with its expectations . Looking ahead , the timing of any licence award within the Netherlands remains unclear , but the Group aims to be operational within the country during the second half of 2022. This temporary closure is expected to negatively impact 2022 EBITDA , post certain mitigations at Group level , by approximately $ 10 million , with no change in the Group's expectations for 2023 and beyond .
