TODAY, starting at 13:35 CET, the Dutch Senate will vote on the Remote Gaming Bill. There will be no debate, just an up or down vote on the bill itself and 6 accompanying motions.
It should all be over – one way or another – in a couple of minutes.

Normally, the answer would be “yes, absolutely.” The fact that the bill wasn’t withdrawn by the govt (like the Casino Reform Bill) very, very strongly indicates that there was a majority in the Senate for the Remote Gaming Bill as late as last week.
Check out this thread for the current state of play:
Dercksen (PVV) generally positive about Friday's replies from Minister Dekker.
So what’s the current state of the debate wrt Remote Gaming Bill + Casino Reform Bill? Let’s recap.
#DutchGamblingReform
#DutchGamblingReform
First up: Casino Reform Bill. Passage is still possible but at this point very unlikely. Right now, only possible majority seems...
...VVD+D66+CDA (will have to change their minds – unlikely, but not impossible on account of coalition agreemment) + SGP (really: sgp.nl/actueel/gokken…) + 50Plus (whom we haven’t heard from yet) = 39 votes (out of 75).

Dekker defends efforts of the Netherlands Gambling Authority, but it is (and cannot be) enough.
First speaker: René Derksen (PVV). Please note: the votes of the PVV are potentially necessary for both bills to pass.
Derksen (PVV) acknowledges need for reform. Doesn't sound like he needs a lot of convincing to vote for both bills right now.
