SpinCore Group, the Malta-based company behind the brand, announced the news on LinkedIn. The approval went to iCasino BV, the locally registered company that runs the Hard Rock Casino NL website. For context, the brand has only offered online casino games in the Netherlands until now.
The company shared in a statement:
“This marks another exciting chapter in the journey of Hard Rock Casino Netherlands and represents an important step forward in our ambition to deliver an even more complete online gaming experience. Behind this achievement lies an incredible amount of hard work, determination and teamwork.”
SpinCore only operates in the Dutch market, and neither it nor Hard Rock Casino is connected to Hard Rock Digital, the global betting and gaming business owned by Hard Rock International.
The launch comes as the KSA has just renewed the first wave of licenses issued when the market opened in 2021, covering TOTO Online, Holland Casino, Play North, FairPlay Casino, Bingoal, bet365, BetCity, and GG Poker.
At the same time, the gross gaming revenue tax recently increased to 38.7%, with the government also moving toward a full ban on gambling advertising, putting the estimated channelization rate at 49% in 2025.
