Dutch Government Cancels Holland Casino Privatisation Plans
Reading Time: 1 minute
The Dutch government has revoked its plans to privatise the Holland Casino. The casino is now owned and operated by the state. The Senate has voted against the plan to privatise the casino.
There are concerns amongst the senators about privatisation. Many believe that allowing private gambling and online casino operators would lead to increased gambling addiction in the country.
Lawmakers are also concerned about the way the government would enable privatisation in the gambling industry.
The draft legislation was approved by the lawmakers two years ago. The initial plan called for selling 10 of the 14 branches. Provision for creating two new licenses was also there. The new permits would allow new players to enter the country’s gambling industry.
In March, the Dutch gambling regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) had increased the starting financial penalty for illegal online gambling from €150k and will go up to €200k.

Videoslots Launches DBET in Sweden with International Tipset Pools
Videoslots is excited to unveil a new brand, DBET .com, now available in Sweden, with plans to expand into other European markets soon. DBET is Videoslots’ first sports-focused brand and aims to disrupt the Swedish tipset market by offering players access to international pools and jackpots for the very first time.
Starting today, Swedish players can win an estimated jackpot of 12 million kroner (over €1M) by being the sole participant in the pool to correctly predict the outcome (win/lose/draw) of 13 featured matches. These pools are expected to grow rapidly, offering a compelling alternative to traditional games that only collect bets within Sweden.
For its launch, DBET has secured a comprehensive sponsorship package with Bandy, Sweden’s quintessential sport. DBET is now the principal partner of the Swedish Bandy Association, the National Team, and the Swedish Bandy League (Elitserien), which provides visibility in stadiums and on the jerseys of all league teams. Additionally, DBET will sponsor the Bandy World Championship, set to take place in Lidköping in 2025.
Through this partnership, DBET signals its intention to establish itself as a true Swedish brand, closely aligned with elite competitions while promoting grassroots sports across the country. Following the initial launch with tipset and casino offerings, DBET will expand its product portfolio to include a state-of-the-art sportsbook. This will be the first brand to feature the new sportsbook platform adopted by Videoslots’ portfolio of brands. The platform will eventually be rolled out across all markets, further raising Videoslots’ ambitions in the sports betting sector.
