You never know with certainty who will receive a license from the Gaming Authority, but Holland Casino is one of the major contenders for a license for online gambling. Companies that want to offer online gambling on the Dutch market have been able to apply for a license since April 1. Not everyone who submits an application will be admitted. The Gaming Authority expects about 35 applications, of which an estimated XNUMX will be approved. The names that are likely to be accepted include Holland Casino and Jack's Casino.

Companies that will have a harder time are those companies that have already been fined large fines in the past for illegally offering games on the Dutch market, such as Unibet. When the remote games of chance Act was on the table in the Senate at the time, it was determined that companies that offered their services illegally in the Netherlands had to wait another two years and nine months before applying for a license.

Anyone who talks about mobility is of course also talking about weekend outings with friends and colleagues. Holland Casino has had a tough six months. From the first six months of 2020, the company was completely closed for more than three and a half months due to the outbreak of the corona virus and the associated measures. A turnover of 146,3 million euros was generated compared to 353,8 million euros in the first half of 2019 (-58,7%). The net result after VPB amounts to -28,3 million euros, compared to 2019 million euros in the plus in 32,5.
