Sportsbook supplier BtoBet, part of Aspire Global Group, has been granted a licence for its sportsbook platform by Dutch gaming authority, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).

The development, said the firm, represents a significant milestone, providing it with the opportunity to enter one of Europe’s most appealing igaming markets.

Receipt of the licence means that BtoBet’s Neuron 3 sportsbook platform is now fully compliant with Dutch regulations and market-ready, allowing local operator partners to provide a tailored betting experience to their players. 

Chief Operating Officer Dima Reiderman commented: “Receiving the Dutch supplier licence offers significant growth opportunities for BtoBet, as we seek to bring first-class betting entertainment to players together with local operators. 

“This licence, pending our entry in the Dutch market, will help to accelerate our foothold in the mature European market as we continue to sustain our growth trajectory with a global market expansion strategy. 

“Setting the basis for BtoBet’s entry to yet another regulated market highlights our commitment to strengthen our position as one of the leading sportsbook suppliers to the global industry.”

Gambling in the Netherlands falls under the auspices of the Remote Gambling Act. Originally set to be introduced on July 1 2020, it was officially enacted on April 1 2020, allowing for market opening to take place on October 1, six months later.

In the months preceding regulation, BtoBet launched an Industry Report outlining the opportunities inherent in the Dutch market.
