Market brief
CountryThe Dutch KOA regime covers remote gambling offered directly to consumers. It does not create a parallel B2B supplier licence, a distinction that matters when mapping platform companies, game studios and payment providers to consumer-facing brands.
A licence application is more than a corporate filing: the regulator describes technical inspection, a control database, Cruks connectivity and supporting policies. BETTIMES therefore keeps licence status, permitted products and the operating website as separate evidence fields.

The licence is B2C and product-scoped. Players and researchers should verify the operator in the official guide and follow the linked licence record rather than relying only on a licence-holder logo.
