Gaming Machines, Operating License

Would you like to install one or two gaming machines in your hospitality business? If so, you’ll need a presence permit. A presence permit is always granted for two gaming machines. You can apply for a permit valid for one or four years.

Please note: You cannot log in using a chain authorization.

You may not be able to fill out all the questions right away—for example, because you need to look up certain information. In that case, you can save your application temporarily by clicking the “Finish Later” button. To continue filling out or complete the application, log in to your personal “Mijn Moerdijk” account using eHerkenning. You’ll find the application under “Drafts.”
