- TriviaWhen commercial television stations saw that there was easy money to be earned with ultra cheap TV night shows., Live telephone call shows, high price money, but near zero winners. The government of Holland took action and advertised in national newspapers on search of actual price winners. They found nobody. The winners of the TV shows were most likely the crew from the production company that called in.
As of January 1, 2006, the Public Prosecution Service will finally take action against channels that earn large sums of money by misleading viewers. SP MP Jan de Wit has argued for years for an end to cheating the public with quizzes that seem backwards simple, but leave almost everyone many euros poorer. "Finally, after 5 years, something is going to happen. My hustle has not been in vain."
RTL and recently SBS pour these games over us every day, until deep into the night. But they also appear in programs such as Idols, Big Brother, the TMF awards and major lottery shows. You know: a beautiful presenter asks how much one plus one is, and she already reveals that it is not three or four, and whether you want to call now... These games provide broadcasters and production companies such as Endemol and Zimoh BV millions on an annual basis. on. "However, they are not only simple, but also illegal," De Wit has said for years. "They are games of chance, and for games of chance you need a license. Nobody has that one. For years involved companies have made millions from these illegal practices."
The SP has already denounced these practices under Purple I, but the then State Secretary Kalsbeek (PvdA) did not want to act against it. She tolerated. De Wit: "It is commendable to Minister Donner that he does intervene." From 1 January, the Public Prosecution Service will take action against the bell games if people do not have a gambling license and there is no question of a promotional game of chance. The latter category falls under a new code from that date. In promotional games of chance, for example, it concerns the baker around the corner who raffles a cake if you participate in his contest. So it's about promoting one thing or another. Well, that's not the case with bubble games. They only promote themselves there, and it's just about the money. It goes without saying that the SP will closely monitor the minister and the Public Prosecution Service to see whether they will actually act.
