Aspire Global ready for broad Dutch Market entry with the complete offering now certified
Aspire Global is ready for a broad rollout of its offering in the Netherlands after having received certifications for its complete offering, covering platform (PAM), sportsbook and casino games.
Already in the fall 2021, Aspire Global’s Pariplay, the leading content and aggregator provider, signed a deal to supply its proprietary games to Holland Casino. Holland Casino was one of in total ten online operators to be granted a license by KSA when the market opened 1 October 2021. Now, also Aspire Global’s platform (PAM) and its BtoBet sportsbook have been awarded certifications by KSA.
Actually, Aspire Global already on January 25 this year announced its first striking platform and managed services deal for the Dutch market. Aspire Global will provide tier 1 operator BoyleSports its full turnkey platform solution including managed services for its planned entry in the Netherlands. BoyleSports is a leading Irish and UK online operator and also Ireland’s largest independent retail bookmaker with over 350 retail branches throughout Ireland and the UK. Recently, also leading iGaming operator Karamba signed a deal to use Aspire Global’s complete offering when entering the Dutch market.
Tsachi Maimon, CEO of Aspire Global, said: “The newly regulated Dutch market is growing quickly and one of Europe’s most appealing iGaming markets. We expect the iGaming market in the Netherlands to grow to ultimately become one of the biggest in Europe and are excited by the opportunities we see. Now, when our complete B2B offering is certified, we are ready to play a major role in shaping the Dutch market and to enhance the player experience also in the Dutch market.”
The Dutch iGaming market is expected to grow to EUR 1.5 billion in 2025, according to a new report published by the Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA).
The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has imposed a first penalty payment order on YouTube influencer LeftlanePapi for promoting illegal gambling.
The YouTube channel LeftlanePapi showed videos with live streams of online gambling from illegal providers. The illegal providers were also actively advertised, by encouraging viewers to also play there. The KSA issued a warning to the influencer. Because the content in question was not removed after the warning and new streams were made, the KSA imposed a penalty. Existing content must be removed and no new advertising may be made. If this does happen, the influencer will receive a penalty of €25,000 per violation, with a maximum of €75,000.
With its new approach, the KSA opts for a two-track policy. After establishing a violation, influencers receive a message that they must stop their activities within 48 hours and that illegal content must be removed. If the influencer does not do so, the KSA approaches the social media platform so that the harmful content is removed in any case. The influencer is given a penalty under penalty of a fine, as was also the case with Leftlanepapi. The KSA has now warned several influencers.
