Dutch online casino license for 777
The Dutch Gaming Authority has issued a new license for online gaming. This time Casino de Spa is the lucky recipient. This party will enter the Dutch online gambling market with Casino 777.
Casino 777
On February 2, 2022, the Gaming Authority granted the license. The authorities' website lists Casino de Spa as the licensee. The brand name on the website of the gaming authorities is casino777.be. The domain 777.nl is also mentioned. This would be a logical Dutch variant.
CasinoJager is looking forward to the entry of 777 into the Dutch gaming market. Indeed, Casino 777 has been operating successfully in Belgium, but also in the rest of Europe, since 2012. On this website, the online casino offers both casino games, live casino games, and sports betting.
Casino 777 offers games from game providers Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, iSoftBet, NetEnt, and Microgaming, among others. So it won't be hard to find popular slots like Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, Dungeon Immortal Evil, or Wolf Gold here.
Casino de Spa
Besides the online Casino 777, Casino de Spa is also a well-known name in Belgium and the Netherlands. This land-based casino, located in the Belgian Ardennes, regularly organizes large poker tournaments. These attract players from both countries.
Like in many other countries, the corona pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works of the casino. The doors had to remain closed for a long time. Since January 2022 the doors were allowed to open again and the casino could receive players again. For now, this can only be done with coronapas.
So this was a good opportunity to focus on the Dutch online market, and with this license, this has succeeded.
The twelfth license in the Netherlands
The new Distance Gaming Act came into effect on October 1, 2021. Casino de Spa is the twelfth party to receive a license. Other licensees include Bet365, Holland Casino Online and TOTO.
Online casinos do not receive a license overnight. The application process is complex. The Dutch Gaming Authority requires a lot of information about the casino and its owners. Even up to 8 years back. This is even a reason for some casinos to cancel the application.
Nevertheless, there are still many casinos that would like to enter the Dutch gaming market. This summer, the Ksa expects to have a better picture of the total number of licenses granted. Also, several applications will be completed, and more online casinos can finally open their (online) doors in the Netherlands.
Although the Dutch online casinos have only just opened, the new market is already a great success. CasinoJager is looking forward to the developments in the coming months.
