Kindred Group has been granted a gambling licence by the Netherlands Gambling Authority. The licence is an important part of Kindred’s strategy to operate in locally licenced markets and follows an extensive application process including successful completion of relevant audits. Kindred’s flagship brand Unibet will launch its Unibet.nl site in the coming days and a Capital Markets Day will be hosted on 14 September.

Kindred Group (Kindred) has received an approval from the Dutch Gambling Authority (Kansspelautoriteit, KSA) to offer commercial online gambling and betting under the Dutch Remote Gambling Act. The licence grants Kindred Group permission to operate in the Dutch market as of 8 June 2022. The approval from the KSA follows an extensive process to secure Kindred’s 20th local licence and represents an important step in the Group’s ambition to increase its share of revenue from locally regulated markets.

The Netherlands is a large and important European market and one that we look forward to operating in with a local licence. We have been advocating local licence schemes for the past decade, and are thrilled that our newly awarded licence in the Netherlands will allow us to deepen and develop our involvement in the Dutch society, as well as actively contribute to a fair and sustainable gambling market. As part of our long-term ambitions and strategy, we are eager to provide a safe, secure and entertaining gambling experience for Dutch customers”, says Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Kindred Group.
