How quickly will Dutch players embrace licensed operators and new legalised gaming verticals?
Alexia: It's difficult to say. Beyond the cooling- off period that many operators respected, Dutch players continued to gamble online in huge numbers. Having said that, there are no real identifiable issues for them to switch to the new, regulated offering.
Te regulation framework will not drastically affect the content available, or indeed marketing activities - enabling licensed operators to be able to communicate with their players, offering better interaction and support when needed.
Vladimir: We believe that Dutch players will adapt quickly to the new conditions. Statistics show that a large section of society is already very comfortable with other forms of gambling, with 54.4 per cent of the population playing lottery at least once every year.
Javier: Under a regulated market, players usually Channelisation is expected to be higher in the
Netherlands, when compared to other jurisdictions such as Sweden. For the latter there are
documented cases of the percentage of online gaming that’s going to offshore companies and this does not seem to be improving. On the other hand, I would expect the Netherlands to be more proactive in limiting offshore activity.
welcome new operators quickly since they come with a licence and are regulated by the government. Tis gives them a security that they did not have before in a grey market.
Blanka: After a period of uncertainty, which has lasted years, the new gambling legislation will finally come into force this October and I anticipate that local players will begin to enjoy the new legalised gaming verticals and online casinos immediately.
We look forward to entertaining them with our immersive suite of premium quality slot titles, which have generated widespread appeal in other European markets and beyond.
Antoine: It’s an interesting question. If we had to use other markets as proxies- the regulation seems to share the most similarities with the current Danish regulations, for example, platform certification, a centralised self- exclusion database, safe reporting and more. Tis has proven successful thus far.
