Kansino awarded the best slots casino of The Netherlands
Kansino is making a name for itself as one of the best online casinos in the Netherlands and beyond, as the iGaming landscape continues to evolve. With a focus on responsible gambling, a safe and secure environment for players, and a wide range of exciting, creative slots to choose from, it is no wonder that Kansino has been awarded the best slots casino of the Netherlands.
Online slots in the Netherlands
Online slots have become the staple game that many online players head for first when entering an online casino in the Netherlands. Dutch players just love Gokkasten! Slots have always been a popular format of gambling in physical casinos for as long as they have been around. It’s easy to see why. Slots games are incredibly easy to just pick up and play, with little explanation and rules to understand. You can just quickly sit down, get comfortable, and begin pulling away and seeing the reels spin round, getting that dopamine hit you’re looking for as a casino player without it costing you the world in bets.
Moving into the modern day and the invention of online casinos has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for slots. Online slots are just as easy to play as their physical counterparts, but the wide range of themes and forms ensures that the possibilities are endless. There are so many creative and colourful themes and designs to choose from that you can take your time and find your favourite for the long-haul.
Kansino and online slots
Now, with the online slots available at Kansino, you can certainly see why they are right up there at the top of their field.
Plenty of online slots choice
There are over 2,500 online slots and casino games available to choose from, which entices players into the Kansino landscape to try out new themes and designs, whether it’s heading into ancient Egypt to find the artefacts, watch Santa’s sleigh find new treats, or play a Candy Crush-style slots game that is popular with all players.
High RTP
On average the online slots at Kansino have an RTP of 95.00, it varies per slot. This removes the sensationalist approach to marketing to new and existing customers and puts the emphasis on the best chance of winning each and every time.
Responsible gambling and safe payments
This approach promotes responsible gambling, with clear limits provided for how long players would like to play for, a limit to maximum losses, and more enforced limits for players under a certain age. Cross-referencing with CRUKS helps to minimise the potential problem of problematic gambling. Payments are all dealt with through iDeal, a familiar and secure process for Dutch players.
Choice of online slots at Kansino
Some of the most popular slots at Kansino include:
-
Sweet Bonanza
A high RTP of 96.48% and a sweet and colourful Candy Crush-style theme makes this one of the most popular online slots in the Dutch market. It has medium-high volatility and a maximum payout of 21,100x your stake.
-
Book of Dead
A 96.21% RTP and a maximum payout of 5,000x your stake, Book of Dead is a glimpse into the magic and mystery of ancient Egypt, with golden relics and hieroglyphics within ancient tombs to explore as the reels spin.
-
Lordi Reel Monsters
A generous 96.23% RTP on this heavy rock slots game, brought to you by the Finnish rock band and Eurovision winners, Lordi. It’s a misty, dark, and spooky online slot with a maximum return of 4,000x your stake.
-
Golden Tour
For the sports fans amongst you, Golden Tour is a simple online slot with a golf theme. The RTP is 97.7% and there is the potential for big payouts in this fast-paced, fun game. It is a unique slot with a progressive jackpot and plenty of golf-related symbols for you to land an eagle or better!
A bright future for online slot at Kansino
With such a stunning few years to begin life within the newly opened Dutch online gambling landscape, the potential is limitless for the future of Kansino. If they have been awarded the best slots casino of the Netherlands already, the future is bright. With the addition of Stakelogic providing bespoke, branded live casino tables too, the impact of responsible gambling processes and the best customer service standards, Kansino is going places, with inventive, creative, and engaging online slots and without the pressures and aggressive marketing techniques that have come to be expected in some quarters within the online casino market.
Kansino looks set to stay at the top of the game in terms of Dutch online gambling, and in particular when it comes to online slots. Gokkasten are popular for a reason, and that’s why Kansino wanted to make sure its online slots offering was up there as the very best in the Netherlands.

Better Collective North American talent-led media brands surpass 1 billion views and downloads, providing new ways for partners to reach sports fans
An expanded focus on talent-led media and live events complements Better Collective’s broader strategy of diversifying revenue streams, engaging sports fans, and strengthening its position in key growth markets such as North America.
Talent-led media has become a core strategic focus for Better Collective, providing new ways to engage fans and create value for the company’s partners. Through shows hosted by world-class athletes and personalities such as Shaquille O’Neal, Jalen Brunson, Angel Reese, and Jeff Marek, Better Collective is able to reach highly engaged audiences across North America. These trusted voices not only help Better Collective stay relevant with younger sports fans but also offer partners authentic, direct access to these communities. Since the beginning of last year, content from Better Collective’s talent-led media brands have generated over one billion views and downloads and were significant contributors to the company’s global sponsorship revenue of more than 45 mEUR in 2024. Talent-led media has also further strengthened the commercial opportunities for partners and reinforces Better Collective’s position as a leading digital sports media group.
Karl Pugh, Group SVP of Revenue at Better Collective, said: “As a market leader operating at the intersection of sports media and sports betting, Better Collective provides partners with unparalleled global reach and commercial opportunities. Through our brands and their shows, we are not only reaching millions of engaged sports fans, but creating meaningful value for our partners by offering them direct access to these highly relevant audiences. With more than one billion views and downloads from fans across North America since the start of 2024, our brands have proven over time to be in high demand and an essential platform for partner activation. I look forward to continuing to grow these partnerships and unlocking new ways to drive revenue, audience engagement, and long-term business value together.”
All three of Better Collective’s leading North American brands, Playmaker HQ, Action Network and The Nation Network, have increased their audience with the help of talent-led media and live events.
- All five of Playmaker HQ’s shows have crossed 2 million total followers on social media, total over 15 million hours of consumed content on YouTube, and average 75 million monthly views across all accounts. The shows have gone viral several times, such as when Unapologetically Angel was named one of Spotify’s best new podcasts of 2024.
- Action Network’s content from leading betting experts has spurred growth as well, evident from its 600k+ hours of consumed content from fans this year. Additionally, the brand’s podcasts totalled 6 million downloads during the last NFL season, and will total 8 million total downloads in 2025.
- Within Canada, Better Collective has also experienced growth among its users thanks to The Nation Network (TNN), which has firmly entrenched itself as the leading destination for premier, digital sports coverage. Across its content this past year, TNN saw 71 million total streams, 5 million total watch hours, and 342 million total impressions on YouTube. These numbers reinforce Better Collective’s belief in Canada as a massive growth opportunity and market with immense potential.
North American brands are providing additional avenues for partner success
These three North American-based brands have each contributed to the company’s rise in the talent-led media space, growth in audience, and value generated for both endemic and non-endemic partners. Across the three brands, leading consumer and sportsbook partners include StockX, Dove Men’s+Care, Tommy John, DraftKings, bet365, Ford, Tim Hortons, Coca-Cola and Budweiser, exemplifying the value Better Collective offers its wide variety of partners in reaching new audiences in modern, engaging ways. These partners are not only getting value out of sponsoring podcast episodes, but also by helping create live activations that form deeper connections and more awareness among fans and potential consumers. Listeners and fans are also highly engaged with each brand’s content, leading to elevated brand exposure, increased content consumption, and higher turnouts at events. Examples of this can be seen with Action Network’s over 75% completion rate of its podcasts – above the average industry standard – as well as Playmaker HQ and TNN’s attendance at their live events, showing not only that fans have an appetite for the content, but that partners will get more exposure through their sponsorships and branded activations.
Live events have given our brands more ways to engage audiences
In addition to the popular podcast shows, Playmaker HQ, Action Network, and The Nation Network are all using their strong brand platforms to host live events. These include meet and greets, live shows, watch parties, and fan experiences that bring audiences closer to their favorite shows and stars. A standout example was last year’s live Roommates Show in Central Park, where thousands of fans gathered to meet Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, enjoyed the show, and took part in branded experiences and giveaways from partners.
These events not only deepen fan engagement but also offer partners unique opportunities to connect with audiences beyond digital channels. Previous events have been held in major cities during some of the biggest sporting moments of the year, including the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Final Four, and the 4 Nations Face Off. Throughout the rest of the year, our brands will continue to host exciting events for fans and partners alike, including the upcoming NBA Summer League.

iGB L!VE opens in London
The 2025 edition of iGB L!VE opened today (2nd July) at it’s new ExCeL London home. iGaming professionals made full use of ExCeL London’s transport infrastructure with Elizabeth Line and Docklands Light Railway trains full of visitors celebrating the show’s relocation to the Capital.
Organisers are seeking to grow the iGB L!VE attendance and, in the process set another record for the event. The 2024 edition, which was the last to be held in Amsterdam attracted 9,788 unique attendees, surpassing the 7,299 at iGB L!VE 2023 and was nearly double the 5,022 at iGB L!VE 2022. The 2025 edition of iGB L!VE will be the biggest on record, providing attendees with access to over 22,000 sqm of product innovation and inspiration.
Claire Williams OBE, the former leader of the Williams Formula 1 racing team and one of the most prominent and successful women in F1 history provided the iGB L!VE 2025 keynote.
Exploring the best practice parallels which can be drawn between the data-driven worlds of F1 and iGaming, Claire Williams noted: “There are a number of ways that Formula 1 can inspire businesses and provide tangible takeaways for iGaming operators of all sizes, from product innovation to navigating entry into new markets. As well as key requirements such as having a dynamic leadership, a culture of continuous improvement, hiring the very best problem solvers and being the first to embrace technology advances, F1 also demands the organisational agility that’s necessary to nuance strategy in what is an ultra-competitive space. “
Described as the TED of iGaming, iGB L!VE features a mix of highly practical case studies, data presentations and panel discussions on best practices across operators and affiliates. Topics include innovations in in-play betting, how to use IP and branding to protect competitive advantage, integrated marketing and SEO strategies, how to build links when no one wants to talk about gambling, as well as market dives into LatAm, UAE and Italy.
