Kindred Group, the parent company of Unibet, received an online gambling license from the Dutch Gaming Authority (Ksa) on Wednesday. The Swedish company will offer commercial games of chance and sports betting.
The Unibet.nl site will be launched in the coming days. The company says it wants to become a “reliable gambling provider” on the Dutch market. It is also intended to emphasize responsible gambling.
There is a lot to do about the latter. For example, the journalistic research platform Pointer recently found that gambling websites such as TOTO, Kansino and BetCity are seriously deficient in their legal gambling protections.
Consumers have been allowed to legally gamble online on websites since 1 October last year. In return, gambling companies must prevent addiction, for example by keeping an eye on how often and how much money someone deposits. According to the Dutch can Pointer effortlessly lose tens of thousands of euros per month, even on government gambling sites.
