Requesting a casino income statement: fast procedure via the Tax Authority

You can request an income statement for the casino directly and free of charge via My Tax Authority using your DigiD. Download the IB60 or use your income tax assessment as proof of income for increased deposit limits. This digital procedure meets the requirements of the Gaming Authority and takes only a few minutes, provided your tax return has been processed.

Step-by-step guide to downloading an income statement for casino use

To increase deposit limits at an online casino, the income statement is often required as proof of financial capacity. You can request this document, also known as an IB60, directly via My Tax Authority using your DigiD. After logging in, you select the correct tax year and download the PDF to safely upload it to the casino's verification portal.

Logging in to My Tax Authority with DigiD

Access to your tax data requires a valid DigiD, the digital identity for government services. This authentication method links your Citizen Service Number (BSN) to your personal account within My Tax Authority, the online portal of the Tax Authority. Without this secure login method, you cannot view or download sensitive documents such as the income statement. Once you are logged in, you have direct access to your file where all available tax statements are stored.

Selecting the correct year and form (IB60)

The income statement, historically known as the IB60 form, is an official confirmation of your registered income for a specific tax year. For casino verification, it is important to select the most recent full year in which your tax return was processed. In 2026, this is typically 2025. This document shows your aggregate income and serves as a more reliable source than a simple payslip for compliance checks. Check the 'Documents and messages' menu to see if the desired year option is available for direct download.

Saving and sharing the PDF statement

After generating the statement, a PDF file will open which you need to save locally. The Tax Authority provides this digital file with a signature with which you can verify its authenticity. If the digital download fails due to technical errors, please contact the Tax Authority for alternative delivery.

Why do casinos ask for an income statement?

The procedure for requesting a casino income statement is essential because legal operators are legally required to verify your financial capacity and the source of your funds. This document, issued by the Tax Authority, does not serve as a punitive measure but as protection against money laundering and problematic gambling behavior within the framework of Dutch legislation.

Obligations under the Remote Gambling Act

Every legal casino in the Netherlands operates under the strict supervision of the Gaming Authority (Ksa), the national regulator that ensures operators comply with the Remote Gambling Act. This law requires operators to use a thorough 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) process, where they must know not only your identity but also your financial situation. The Ksa checks whether casinos comply with these rules to guarantee a safe gaming environment. Without this verification, an operator cannot maintain a license, meaning that providing an income statement is a direct condition for accessing regulated offerings.

Source of wealth and anti-money laundering checks

In addition to identity checks, casinos must comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft). This means that a casino must demonstrate that the wagered money comes from legal sources, especially for higher deposits or limit increases. An income statement acts as objective proof of your registered income, as recorded by the Tax Authority. It is not a judgment on your personal spending habits, but a necessary compliance step to keep criminal financial flows out of the sector. By providing this document, you comply with the operator's legal duty to validate the source of your wealth.

Relationship with CRUKS and responsible gaming

An income check differs from a CRUKS registration. CRUKS is specifically intended for players who want to self-exclude due to problematic gambling behavior, while an income statement serves purely to assess financial capacity. Submitting your income data does not automatically lead to a CRUKS registration; it is a preventive measure within the responsible gaming policy of the Gaming Authority. These checks help both the player and the operator to stay within realistic budgets, without this equating to a sanction or exclusion from participation.

Delivery time and availability of your tax data

The procedure for requesting a casino income statement is usually digital and fast, provided your tax return has been finalized. Via My Tax Authority, you can download the document immediately after your data has been processed by the Tax Authority. Depending on your situation, the statement for the current year is available between March and June 2026. Make sure to act in time to prevent delays in limit increases.

When is the 2025 income statement available?

The availability of your tax data is closely linked to the status of your tax return. The Tax Authority, the national tax authority, finalizes the income tax return before an official statement is generated. For the tax year 2025, you can download the income statement starting from April 2026, but only if you are required to file a return. If you do not have a filing obligation, the document is accessible as early as March 2026.

Please note: during peak times during the filing period (March to May), processing may take longer, although it is often ready within a week of receiving your tax return. Once the Tax Authority has registered your income, the statement will appear under 'Documents and messages' in My Tax Authority. This platform, accessible via DigiD, acts as the central portal through which the Tax Authority discloses your tax data. Therefore, first check if your tax return status is 'final' before contacting casino support departments.

Difference between IB60 and income tax assessment

Many players wonder if a copy of the income tax assessment suffices as an alternative to the standard income statement (formerly IB60). An income tax assessment is the official decision of the Tax Authority regarding your tax due, based on your submitted tax return. In many cases, casinos accept this assessment as proof of income, especially because it is sometimes available faster than the specific IB60 statement in certain systems.

However, there are important nuances. The income tax assessment contains more detailed personal financial information than the concise income statement. Furthermore, some bodies emphasize that only the 'final registered income' counts, which is specifically stated on the income statement and not necessarily on the draft tax return. You can manage both documents via My Tax Authority; the income statement purely shows the gross income, while the assessment displays the calculation of the tax burden. For compliance purposes, the income statement is often the safe choice, but always check the specific requirements of the provider.

Requesting older statements (2012-2019)

For historical verifications, for example during extensive 'Source of Wealth' checks, casinos can request data from previous years. You can download income statements from 2020 up to and including 2024 independently via My Tax Authority. For years before that, such as 2012-2019, direct online access may be limited or require a different procedure.

If the desired tax years are not directly visible in your dashboard, you can contact the Tax Authority via the Tax Information Line (BelastingTelefoon) (0800-0543). Requesting these older documents is free of charge, but the delivery time is approximately five working days because they are sent by post. Keep your Citizen Service Number (BSN) at hand for identification. These paper statements have the same legal value as the digital versions from My Tax Authority, as long as they are signed by the Tax Authority or provided with a certificate of authenticity.

Security and alternative verification methods

Protect your data during the request. Use tools like KopieID to mask your Citizen Service Number (BSN) before uploading documents to the platform. Although other financial institutions require similar verifications, a casino only asks for tax validation. Ensure you work via MijnOverheid or direct channels of the Tax Authority to prevent identity fraud and safeguard the integrity of your financial data during the compliance check.

Privacy protection when submitting documents

Sharing tax data requires caution. The government advises using the KopieID app, a free tool from the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, to make sensitive information like your BSN unreadable on scans. This is crucial because companies rarely need your BSN for administrative processing, but do need to verify your income data. By masking the BSN, you minimize the risk of identity theft while preserving the validity of the income statement for the casino compliance department.

Alternatives if you do not have a DigiD

Don't have a DigiD? Then you can still go through the casino income statement request procedure, albeit with a longer delivery time. You can contact the Tax Authority by phone at 0800-0543 to request a statement. Keep in mind that this process can take up to five working days and the document will be sent by post, which is less than ideal for quick casino verification. For entrepreneurs, a specific Entrepreneur's Income Statement is often required, but for standard casino players, the regular statement or a recent income tax assessment usually suffices.

Validation: how does the casino know the document is authentic?

Casinos rely on the Tax Authority's digital signature to guarantee authenticity. When you download an income statement via My Tax Authority, it features a verification code that shows whether the document has been altered after signing. This system is similar to the secure communication channels of MijnOverheid, where messages in the Message Box (Berichtenbox) can only be posted by authorized agencies. A casino will therefore rarely accept a self-made spreadsheet; only tax-assessed documents with this digital authentication meet the Wwft requirements.
