The major Dutch arcades operating company Jacks Casino and Sports, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association.
With a history of operating in the Netherlands for 65 years and with 85 locations and a market share of over 30 per cent, Jack’s move into the newly regulated Dutch online gambling market with its Jacks.NL brand was expected by observers of the market in the Netherlands.
Jacks is one of five companies to be given operating licences by the Dutch Gambling Authority that are now members of the IBIA.
All online betting operators licensed in the country are required to be part of an international integrity monitoring body. The association, recently launched in the North American market, expects to make further member announcements over the coming months as more licences are issued in the Netherlands.
Eric Olders, CEO of JVH Group, parent company of Jack’s, said: “By joining we are protecting the integrity in sports and sports betting. Integrity is a key value, for us and for sports. It’s essential for athletes and essential for our customers. It’s the basis of our licence to operate. With the help of the IBIA's data, potential malpractices can be spotted at an early stage, this enables us to act instantly. By joining forces with IBIA we strive for a safe environment for our players, all athletes and sports in general.”
