Bragg Gaming Launches Metric Gaming Sportsbook with Betnation in The Netherlands
Bragg Gaming Group announced the launch of the Betnation sportsbook, utilising technology developed by Metric Gaming across the Dutch market for the first time.
Under the terms of the extension agreement, Bragg provides access to Metric’s sportsbook technology through its existing relationship with the developer, with Bragg working to integrate this technology into Betnation’s current set up.
The integration benefits Betnation further through access to Bragg’s in-house regulatory reporting tools, as well as access to cutting-edge marketing and promotional tools available through Bragg’s Fuze toolset.
The agreement marks the first usage of Metric’s sportsbook technology via Bragg Gaming Group to a Bragg client, with similar launches with other Bragg clients set to follow.
This relationship aims to allow an operator to have all the autonomy and control of an in-house developed sportsbook but through an outsourced solution which is more cost effective for the operator, making it easier for operators to focus on customers.
The launch follows the award of a sports betting license to Betnation by the Dutch Gambling Regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) last month, following an extensive application review process and building on Betnation’s prior iGaming license award.
The sportsbook debut comes at a crucial time in the sporting calendar, with the UEFA European Championship Football tournament kicking off in Germany on June 14, 2024, and with the Paris 2024 Olympics beginning a month later in July.
Betnation are a long standing client of Bragg Gaming, first agreeing a turnkey technology, content aggregation and managed services deal covering the Dutch market in April 2022.
Betnation currently utilizes Bragg’s constantly updated, cutting-edge Player Account Management (PAM) platform in the Dutch market, as well as Bragg’s iGaming content aggregation services, which include casino content from multiple in-house studios as well as exclusive content from multiple studio partners.
Betnation also uses the Fuze customer engagement toolset in its iGaming, benefitting from market leading tools proven to increase user engagement through enabling automated, real-time in-game gamification, conversion and retention mechanisms.
Tools available to iGaming operators under the Fuze toolset include an AI-powered Game Recommendation System, Game-based leaderboards, tournaments and quests.
Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer at Bragg, commented: “We’re delighted to help Betnation expand their existing iCasino offering into sportsbook for the first time, in this first-of-its kind agreement.
“We hope that this arrangement with Metric Gaming will offer our operator clients a unique, game-changing way to offer sports betting but in a way which removes many of the associated financial and operational concerns.”
Robert Schouten, Chief Executive Officer at Betnation, commented: “We’re grateful to the KSA for granting us a sports betting licence, and we’re looking forward to launching our debut sportsbook offering with Bragg and Metric.
The upcoming summer of sporting events will undoubtedly be a busy one for Dutch bettors and we’re looking forward to being able to offer a wide range of betting opportunities for our customers.”

FBM Digital Systems (FBMDS), a leader in iGaming innovation, and FBM Foundation are joining forces to host a special solidarity initiative linked to the Ronaldinho Crash game by FBMDS at this year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas. From October 8th to 10th, visitors to booth 2848 will have the opportunity to participate in a Keepy-Uppy Challenge, designed to give back to communities in need while promoting the spirit of solidarity.
The initiative invites attendees to show off their soccer skills in a simple but meaningful way: for every successful keepy-uppy (juggle) a participant completes on the newest Ronaldinho Crash game, the FBM Foundation will donate $1 to support vulnerable communities around the world. These donations are going to be made to individuals affected by natural disasters, children in need of educational resources, and other vulnerable groups.
This is FBM Foundation’s first ever participation at an international casino gaming trade-show and the choice of G2E Las Vegas to make its debut was not random. Choosing a stage like the Global Gaming Expo was the right move to showcase the Group’s will to make a difference in the world, sharing its solidarity footprint with a broader, diverse audience of casino gaming enthusiasts, casino operators, players and industry professionals.
“We believe in the power of coming together for a greater purpose,” says Renato Almeida, Director of FBM®️ Group. “This initiative not only highlights the team-building spirit that defines FBMDS, but it also allows us to showcase the work of the FBM Foundation and our commitment to making a positive impact on the world with the help of G2E Las Vegas.”
FBM Foundation has long been dedicated to supporting causes that promote education, community development, and relief efforts for those impacted by crises in the Philippines, Brazil and beyond. “Through this keepy-uppy challenge, FBMDS and FBM Foundation aim to inspire action and demonstrate how collective efforts—whether on the field or off—can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most”, shares FBM Foundation’s representative, Vítor Francisco.
The Ronaldinho Crash game is one of FBMDS’ latest product releases, featuring the global football legend Ronaldinho Gaúcho on a thrilling keepy-uppy crash gaming experience. The game, which was officially launched during the American Cup and will be available to try at the fair, is already winning over crowds in multiple countries around the globe.
In addition to Ronaldinho Crash, visitors to G2E Las Vegas 2024 will be able to experience for the first time the new Infinity Series video bingo line and the new Sapphire Fever bingo, the new Safe Blaster slot game, as well as the popular Champion Tales crash game, the famous Top+Plus table games collection and much more.
Attendees at G2E Las Vegas 2024 are encouraged to stop by booth 2848, take part in the challenge, and help support the initiative between FBMDS and FBM Foundation. Whether you’re an expert juggler or simply want to get involved, every attempt counts towards the greater goal of raising funds for global causes.
