Jack's Casino from yesterday began to offer Dutch players an online gambling site with the backing and security of an officially recognised national licence from the country’s gambling authorities.

Jack’s, part of the JVH Group in Tilberg, operates over 80 gaming arcades across the country. Its CEO, Eric Olders (pictured), hailed the arrival of a new venture to his gaming and entertainment group: “Fantastic news. Jack’s Casino & Sports is now online. As of today, players can also contact us in the digital world.”

On November 19 the gambling authority, the KSA, gave JOI Gaming its licence as one of a select group of applicants allowed to officially operate in the Netherlands.

The site is now offering a strong line-up of games, including slots, live table games and sports betting, operated alongside a number of strategic partners. For sports betting this is Kambi, for the player platform it is Oryx and for live games it is Evolution.

“We have our own blackjack and roulette tables with Dutch-speaking croupiers,” said Olders. “It is all set against the group image of a cosy and stylish atmosphere and a warm welcome.”
