I predict that the first year will be slightly unstable, but once operators work through their cooling-off period, apply for a
license, and get certified, it should be somewhat smooth sailing. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts after the first year of being up and running. After the first year or two, the
market should fully stabilise and provide sustainable growth for medium-sized and larger operators. It will be a market where players quickly distinguish between the operators providing a good product and wide portfolio, and those who are not.
Dusting off your crystal ball, once the market has settled down, what are your long-term predictions?
Javier: At R. Franco we are betting that it is going to be stable, with a large number of players under the security of a regulated market. We are confident that the Dutch online gambling market is set to become one of Europe's biggest.
Blanka: We anticipate that lotteries will be the most popular vertical, with sports betting playing a leading role as well. Casino games will be next in line and will grow rapidly in the
enforcement is not yet known, the risks will increase significantly after 1 July. Te operators staying in the regulated space may be able to regain larger market share, but over a period time of course.
Te Netherlands will adopt a more traditional profile with substantial diversity of operators and suppliers supported by favourable conditions. My belief is that it is likely to
period following the market’s opening. Slots will capture more and more important market share as the months go on, with classically themed titles expected to comprise around half of all slot gameplay.
Overall, the market will be awash with activity. Operators and suppliers are queuing up for a piece of the action, and the Dutch government should be applauded for its diligent research. Te decision to restrict licences to those who have not been targeting local players in recent years will create a level playing field, and I expect Holland to become one of Europe’s fastest-growing markets in the years to come.
Vladimir: Te iGaming industry has a bright future in the Netherlands. As we see it, the Dutch market will grow and mature over the next few years to take its place as one of Europe’s most important. Te potential is clear and we are excited to be a part of it.
Alexia: I believe Germany could consolidate in the medium term, as the conditions are more difficult for operators and although the level of
become one of the more reliable and lucrative of the European regulated markets – and for a larger group of industry stakeholder.
Antoine: I predict that the first year will be slightly unstable, but once operators work through their cooling-off period, apply for a license, and get certified, it should be somewhat smooth sailing. It will be interesting to see how the market reacts after the first year of being up and running.
After the first year or two, the market should fully stabilise and provide sustainable growth for medium-sized and larger operators. It will be a market where players quickly distinguish between the operators providing a good product and wide portfolio, and those who are not.
Sports will be a competitive market for sportsbook operators where pricing, the product offering and the range of markets will separate the leading operators from the ones lagging behind. Largely, I anticipate the Netherlands to develop into a strong, stable, properly regulated market in the medium to long term.
