BetComply, a leading firm in technical and regulatory compliance for the iGaming industry, has partnered with iCasino to secure a Dutch license for the recently-launched Hard Rock Casino brand.
HardRockCasino.nl, operated by iCasino b.v. under a brand license agreement, announced its Netherlands launch at the start of July. This milestone was achieved with BetComply’s support in obtaining a license from the Dutch regulator, de Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), in May.
The partnership will continue as BetComply ensures ongoing compliance for Hard Rock Casino within the Netherlands regulatory framework.
iCasino CEO Paul Strikers said: “It’s hugely exciting to bring such a globally renowned brand to the Dutch market for the first time. We understood early on in the process that operator compliance needed to be one of our highest priorities, and that’s why we enlisted the help of BetComply and its unparalleled expertise in the Netherlands. We thank Mike and the team for their tireless and rigorous support on our successful licence application, and look forward to building upon this partnership in the future; the first step being the application for a sports betting licence.”
BetComply Chief Compliance Officer Mike de Graaff added: “The Netherlands market has attracted some huge international brands over recent months, underlining the opportunities on offer for those who build a deep understanding of their regulatory obligations. We’ve already helped more than a third of all licence holders in the country, and with the KSA taking a proactive approach across all elements of regulation, we’ll continue to support our partners, including iCasino, as market conditions evolve.”
