Sportradar and NOC*NSF sign pilot agreement to provide bet monitoring for sports competitions in the Netherlands

Reading Time: 2 minutes
The Netherlands Olympic Committee*Dutch Sports Federation (NOC*NSF) and Sportradar Integrity Services – the world’s leading provider of sports integrity solutions – have today entered an agreement for the monitoring of competitions across multiple sports in the Netherlands throughout 2021.
Sportradar Integrity Services will draw upon its significant experience and expertise – having monitored global betting markets for irregularities for over 15 years – to provide bet monitoring and reporting for football, basketball and darts events played in the Netherlands, which could encompass over 1,500 matches this year.
Alongside fundamental bet monitoring for every match covered in the agreement, Sportradar will provide the NOC*NSF with the most complete picture regarding the already established and burgeoning global betting markets on domestic Dutch sport. Risk analysis reporting will also be provided throughout the partnership, including data driven insights to best inform strategic decisions to protect against integrity risks. Utilising these services and Sportradar’s vast experience in tackling match-fixing will greatly assist the NOC*NSF in carrying out its role as the National Platform for the Netherlands under the Council of Europe’s Macolin Convention.
Gerard Dielessen, Chief Executive Officer at NOC*NSF, said: “In order to work in line with the Macolin Convention, this pilot agreement with Sportradar Integrity Services is an essential project in understanding the betting exposure that is afforded to Dutch sport. Through ongoing bet monitoring of our domestic sports competitions, and analysis of the latest betting trends surrounding them we will have insights that will help inform what the most effective and efficient long-term strategy is to protect against integrity risks.”
Sportradar Integrity Services Managing Director Andreas Krannich added: “By signing this agreement, the NOC*NSF have shown their crucial proactivity in protecting sports competitions in the Netherlands from integrity risks such as match manipulation. Alongside bet monitoring of key sporting events in the Netherlands, our integrity experts will provide on-going support to NOC*NSF through the analysis of betting market trends and developments, and any risk factors we identify will be discussed in our regular reviews. This is the first project of its type within the structure of the Council of Europe’s Macolin Convention, and it should be viewed by other nations as a blueprint of what bet monitoring looks like at a national, multi-sport level.”

Belatra expands Mummyverse with Fortune Mummy release

Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has expanded its Mummyverse with the release of Fortune Mummy. This is the fourth game in the series, following the flagship Mummyland Treasures, Santa Mummy, and Mummy Mines. In addition, in collaboration with a well-known casino, Belatra created BitStarz Mummy, combining the best of the series with the unique style and features of the casino itself.
Fortune Mummy continues the journey through a world of golden treasures, desert sands, and the magic of Ancient Egypt, where every symbol is an artifact and every spin is a step closer to legendary riches. The game shines with stylish visual effects, crisp graphics, and a mystical soundtrack to bring all the elements together. The Wild symbol is represented with the Scarab, which substitutes for all other symbols to boost the number of winning combinations.
Fortune Mummy instantly stands out thanks to its “three-in-one” format where three unique three-reel slots co-exist, Hold & Win, Coins Hunt and Mirror Reels. Players will be switched between the three randomly to unlock new mechanics and bonus features at every stage.
Hold & Win is set within a classic three-reel, five-payline slot, enhanced with a bonus twist. If all paylines in the base game reveal identical symbols or Wilds, winnings are multiplied by 10. The feature triggers randomly, and before it begins a special symbol is selected to join the Wild on the reels. The round continues until no new symbols land or the reels are completely filled. If all collected symbols are identical or Wild, the total win is multiplied by 10 once again.
Coins Hunt is the second hidden feature. This is a three-reel slot (3–4–3 layout) with 10 paylines and a rewarding coin collection mechanic. In the base game the coins (values range from 0.5 to 500) do not contribute to the line win, but landing five or more returns a payout equal to the total coin values multiplied by the bet. The Coin Hunt bonus activates at random, awarding eight free spins where only coins appear.
The third and final feature is Mirror Reels, set within a 4–3–4 layout with 10 paylines. In the base game, if all symbols or Wilds on active paylines match, winnings are boosted by a 10x multiplier. When the Mirror Reels bonus triggers, the first and third reels lock with identical symbols while the second (middle) reel continues spinning until a winning combination lands. If all symbols or Wilds match across the reels, the total win is multiplied by 10.
Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented: “Fortune Mummy is a modern slot with rich features and numerous bonuses that will appeal to both fans of the mummy theme and lovers of diverse game mechanics. The Wild symbol and multiple game modes make the gameplay engaging and provide players with great chances for big wins.”

Pennsylvania iGaming Records $228.3M in July 2025

Pennsylvania’s online casinos soared in July 2025, delivering adjusted gross revenue of $228.3 million. This figure marks the second-highest monthly iGaming total ever reported by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
It follows the record $238.2 million in March. The revenue reflects a 30.9% year-over-year boost, underscoring broader growth trends in the digital gaming space. The state’s real money online casino market continues expanding as player engagement strengthens.
The surge came as Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course and partners led the state with $87.8 million, registering a 37.2% increase over last year. Valley Forge Casino Resort followed with $61.0 million, marking a 34.1% rise. Rivers Casino Philadelphia clocked in $37.8 million, up 26.6%. Meanwhile, Caesars Interactive contributed $10.5 million, up 10.8%.
Tax revenues surged alongside iGaming. The Commonwealth collected $67.4 million in state taxes from online casino play in July. Local tax and county grants added $36.5 million, amplifying the fiscal impact.
Pennsylvania’s total gambling revenue, including land-based casinos and sports betting, totaled $557.7 million, rising 11.4% year-over-year. The iGaming segment alone increased 30.9%, making it a primary growth engine.
Slots dominated iGaming revenue with $177.2 million, followed by table games at $48.5 million and poker at $2.5 million.
Pennsylvania’s sports betting market delivered $40.6 million in revenue during July, a 5.2% increase from last year. Online wagering accounted for $37.9 million, while retail sportsbooks added $2.7 million.
The rise came despite a 0.5% dip in handle, which closed at $412.5 million. Betting from online sportsbooks produced $392.6 million of that total, with retail wagering contributing $19.9 million. The statewide hold rate stood at 9.84%, reflecting stronger margins.
FanDuel, partnered with Valley Forge Casino Resort, led the market once again. It generated $15.5 million in revenue from a $140.9 million handle, posting an 11.00% hold. DraftKings and Hollywood Casino at the Meadows followed, collecting $11.3 million from $112.3 million, equal to a 10.06% hold.
Fanatics, partnered with Hollywood Casino York, placed third with $2.7 million from a $28.4 million handle, producing a 9.51% hold. Morgantown and BetMGM secured $2.1 million on a $33.3 million handle for a 6.3% hold.
Rounding out the top five, ESPN Bet with Hollywood Casino at Penn National reported $1.7 million from $18.7 million, giving a 9.09% hold.
The data underscores how Pennsylvania’s sports betting operators are strengthening profitability even when overall wagering slows. Analysts expect momentum to accelerate once football season begins, driving higher handles and further testing operator margins.
