Polder Casino Polder Casino is an online casino based in Malta and regulated by theMaltese government. Polder Casino has a focus on Dutch players, as most of its games and content are available in the Dutch language. It also features a very Dutch background with a windmill along with other symbols often associated with the Netherlands on its site. A live casino has also been incorporated into the platform. Casino systems and games are supplied by NetEnt. Te site offers 24/7 live casinos from a studio in Malta and from the Oracle and Portomaso Casino on Malta from 10:00 to 05:00 each day.
888
888 is expected to be one of the first companies to apply for a licence and the company announced that it had already stopped all its marketing activities in August 2014. Te site offers a wide number of games including sports betting, bingo, and casinos games.
William Hill William Hill will also likely be one of the first companies to apply for a licence. In December 2014 William Hill’s International PR Manager Rupert Adams said that the company had decided to momentarily pull out of the Dutch market and would no longer offer its services to citizens located in the Netherlands so as not to jeopardise the group’s chances at a Dutch gaming license, once the new regulations come into force.
Ladbrokes
In 2005 the Dutch Supreme Court prohibited Ladbrokes from offering web-based gambling services in the Netherlands and in 2004 Ladbrokes was ordered to stop offering sports bets to consumers in the Netherlands leading to a long running battle in the courts. Ahead of the opening up of the market Ladbrokes has now restricted its online offer. While Holland is not on the list of its “Restricted Territories” according to the company website when it comes to Holland Ladbrokes accepts “bets on Horse Racing and Greyhound Racing and play on Casino, Vegas and Poker. However, no bets will be accepted on any other Sports, or play on Lottos, Scratch Cards and any Fixed Odds Games.”
Unibet Unibet will undoubtedly also be one of the first operators to apply for a licence. Unibet was the focus of some controversy in April 2015 when a judge in Holland rejected an attempt by a Dutch online gambler to be paid back the €178,000 he had lost playing at
Unibet.com claiming that these sites were not yet legal in Holland. Unibet offers a wide number of games including sports, casinos games and poker.
BetFair
One of the prime movers when it came to challenging Dutch gaming rules in the courts was Betfair. Betfair’s prime focus is on sports betting but it also offers a wide number of other games including casinos games and bingo.
