Holland Casino Becomes Responsible Betting Partner of Dutch Football

Holland Casino will be a responsible betting partner for all Dutch professional football as of next season (2021/22).
The cooperation with the Eredivisie, Keuken Kampioen Divisie (First Division) and ESPN will enable Holland Casino to present itself from October 1 as an appealing online provider with an attractive comprehensive offer of sports betting and well-known casino games. Safe and responsible gaming and Fair Play is always the top priority for all these offers.
Erwin van Lambaart, CEO of Holland Casino, said: “The value of this cooperation is not only great for all parties directly involved, but is also in the interest of the Dutch public and all professional football clubs.”
On 1 October 2021, the government will open the online gaming market. Holland Casino’s ambition is to establish a significant market position right from the start. Investing in the most popular sport in the Netherlands in the next four years is an important contribution to achieving this goal. Prevention and education about safe and responsible participation in online games of chance are central to this. Moreover, the investment is a welcome financial boost for Dutch football.
Erwin van Lambaart, CEO of Holland Casino, said: “The value of the investment in Dutch football is really great for all parties. It gives Holland Casino an enormous reach to interest a wide audience in attractive gambling games with an exciting new online dimension where safe and responsible gaming always comes first. By setting the bar high, we want to set an example in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe, in our casinos and starting on 1 October in our online offer as well. This reliability is of great importance to consumers. The value of the investment is also great, because it really supports all professional football clubs, spread throughout the Netherlands.”
Jan de Jong, CEO of Eredivisie, said: “The Eredivisie has very deliberately chosen a Dutch party, Holland Casino, an A-brand. A reliable party. With a good long-term vision. Moreover, the Eredivisie and Holland Casino share a rich, successful and beautiful history. We are now going to add another wonderful chapter of at least four years.”
Marc Boele, Director of Coöperatie First Division, said: “Holland Casino, the Eredivisie and the Keuken Kampioen Divisie have always been committed to a safe and responsible gaming offer that fully safeguards the integrity of the sport. That makes this cooperation as logical as it is desirable. We look forward to working together in the coming years, with new game concepts that will add value to the fans’ experience of the game.”
Part of it is also the cooperation with ESPN, the channel that broadcasts all live football from the Eredivisie and Keuken Kampioen Divisie. The ESPN platform will make an important contribution to the visibility of Holland Casino as a responsible betting partner of Dutch football. In addition, Holland Casino and ESPN will jointly develop new content, which is in line with the ambitions and which offers relevance and entertainment for Dutch football fans.
Van Lambaart speaks of “a future-proof, sustainable approach”, which is necessary to provide the Dutch public with both ample entertainment as well as protection when it comes to online gambling in the coming years.
“This partnership with Dutch football is going to help us get new impetus in a future-proof way in the coming years. The plan is sound, realistic and healthy. We are convinced that this will pay off on several fronts. On the one hand, the COVID-19 crisis has stressed that a digital channel is essential for the robustness of Holland Casino. It makes our company more future-proof. On the other hand, we have very deliberately chosen to integrate the right balance between appeal and responsible play into the entire collaboration,” Van Lambaart said.

Oddsgate earns key ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 certifications

Oddsgate adds ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 to its certification portfolio, reinforcing its long-term strategy for integrity, trusted growth, and positioning as an ethical tech partner.
In a sector where regulatory evolution is constant and reputational risk travels fast, certifications alone are not the story, but the mindset behind them is. While new ISO achievements might go unnoticed by those accustomed to industry headlines, the recent ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management) certifications obtained by Oddsgate represent more than procedural victories. They mark a conscious, strategic reinforcement of the company’s internal culture and operational DNA.
Rather than responding reactively to compliance demands, Oddsgate continues to build a structure where ethics, transparency, and control are not just safeguards but enablers of trust and performance. These certifications confirm that the company doesn’t just meet international standards, it anticipates them, translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, measurable practices across its platform and business model.
“Our pursuit of these certifications was not driven by obligation, but by conviction. At Oddsgate, we view compliance as a catalyst, not a constraint. It enables our partners to grow securely and gives regulators and stakeholders something that has become a competitive asset: trust”, according to Tiago Almeida, Oddsgate’s CEO.
The ISO 37001 certification focuses on implementing a preventive and responsive anti-bribery management system. It covers a full spectrum of practices, from due diligence and risk assessment to internal audits, training, and whistleblowing mechanisms. It applies to both active and passive bribery and is compatible with other management systems already adopted by the company, such as ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Information Security), and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity).
ISO 37301, meanwhile, raises the bar for how organization’s structure and monitor compliance at scale. Unlike its predecessor, ISO 19600, which served only as a guideline, ISO 37301 is a certifiable standard. It evaluates how a company maps its legal and regulatory obligations, integrates ethical conduct into its operations, and engages leadership in continuous improvement and governance. This includes everything from contractual commitments to internal codes of ethics and industry-specific requirements.
These certifications serve a dual function: mitigate legal and reputational risks while unlocking new value through stronger partnerships, regulatory credibility, and long-term operational resilience.
“More than responding to what’s expected, we believe in building systems that anticipate and adapt,” adds Tiago Almeida. “Compliance, when treated as strategy, can attract the right partners, generate business stability, and protect innovation from unnecessary risk.”
Oddsgate’s compliance architecture is not an isolated layer but is deeply integrated with its platform offering and customer experience. From onboarding new operators to processing data securely and managing affiliate networks, the company has developed internal controls that scale with client growth while respecting local and international regulations.
As global markets mature and enforcement becomes more sophisticated, Oddsgate positions itself as a technology provider and an operational ally capable of helping its clients confidently navigate complex compliance landscapes.
