Double Dutch: 1X2 Network launches in the Netherlands
Slots and table games from the developer’s 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries now available to operators in the just-opened regulated market
1X2 Network, the award-winning casino content provider and aggregator, has made its debut in the just-regulated Dutch market after receiving the necessary approvals from regulatory body, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).
1X2 Network is permitted to offer online slots and table games from its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries to operators licensed in the Dutch market, which officially opened its digital doors at the beginning of the month.
Entering the Dutch market forms part of wider plans to obtain certifications in key regulated markets. Currently, 1X2 Network is live in 12 jurisdictions – the UK, Isle of Man, Malta, Gibraltar, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Colombia, Romania, Greece, Germany and now the Netherlands.
Operators licensed by KSA can partner with 1X2 Network to offer their players games such as MegawaysTM Jack, Rock the Reels MegawaysTM, 1 Million MegawaysTM BC, Battle Maidens TM Cleopatra, Book of Loki and Smoking Hot Fruits.
1X2 Network has built a formidable reputation for developing online casino content that combines striking design with smart math and complex mechanics. This ensures a fun, entertaining and ultimately thrilling experience across all games.
Operators will also be able to access Branded MegawaysTM, an award-winning concept from 1X2 Network that allows them to quickly and cost-effectively launch their own MegawaysTM slots. This takes player engagement and loyalty to the next level.
Kevin Reid, CCO at 1X2 Network, said: “We are delighted to have received the necessary approvals to offer our award-winning slots and table games to operators in the newly-regulated Dutch market. This forms part of wider plans to secure licenses in core regulated markets around the world.
“Our games have been developed to engage players and deliver fun and excitement with every spin. Titles such as 1 Million MegawaysTM BC have gone on to top the charts in global markets and we believe they will be just as popular with players in the Netherlands.
“We look forward to going live with our first operator partners shortly and to play a part in the market growing and maturing in the coming months and years.”

MDC Issues Commentary as U.S. Gambling Enters “Regulatory Reset” Following $148 Billion Wagered
Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) has issued an expert commentary on what it calls a “regulatory reset” in the U.S. gambling sector, as lawmakers and regulators respond to explosive growth in consumer betting behavior. According to the American Gaming Association, Americans wagered a record $148 billion on sports in 2024. This surge has sparked new scrutiny from both federal and state-level authorities.
Recent legislative efforts in New York, Louisiana, and Montana have targeted sweepstakes-based casinos and skill-based betting formats. Proposed changes include tighter bet size limits, stricter advertising rules, and licensing reforms aimed at reducing player harm and increasing transparency.
“The regulatory environment is catching up with consumer behavior. There’s growing concern over how online gambling is marketed, accessed, and governed. Areas like responsible gaming, ad targeting, and instant deposits are now being looked at much more critically,” said a spokesperson at MDC.
According to the latest figures from the American Gaming Association, U.S. commercial gaming revenue reached $19.44 billion in Q2 2025, marking a 9.8% increase compared to the same period last year. Online casino gaming accounted for $2.6 billion of that total, reflecting a 32.3% year-over-year jump. The numbers underscore continued momentum for digital platforms even as regulations tighten.
MDC’s commentary urges both players and operators to stay ahead of the curve. As laws evolve, demand is rising for licensed platforms that offer low-deposit access, better responsible gambling tools, and full regulatory compliance.
