Igaming and sports betting operator BetMGM has expanded into the Dutch market, its second European roll-out.

The launch has been facilitated through MGM Resorts-owned LeoVegas’ tech stack, similar to BetMGM’s launch in the UK last summer.

MGM Resorts’ president of Interactive, Gary Fritz, said: “The Dutch market offers an exciting opportunity and will be an important part of our international expansion efforts and strategy to become a global gaming leader.”

Gustaf Hagman, group CEO at LeoVegas Group, said: “Our launch in the UK was tremendously successful, and we eagerly anticipate bringing the golden Vegas experience to the Netherlands.

“This launch in the Dutch market is an important step in our international expansion, but we have much more in store."

The Netherlands’ igaming market is currently undergoing a period of uncertainty after motions calling for a blanket ban on online gambling advertising and a ban on certain online casino products were voted for by a majority of the House of Representatives.

The Netherlands’ minister for Legal Protection, Franc Weerwind, now has the power to approve or veto the measures.
