Bragg Gaming Launches Kambi Sportsbook with 711.NL in The Netherlands
Bragg Gaming Group is proud to announce the launch of the 711.nl sportsbook in the Netherlands, utilizing sports betting technology developed by Kambi.
The extension of the relationship sees Bragg provide access to Kambi’s suite of sportsbook technology through its existing relationship with the provider, with Bragg working with 711.nl to integrate this into its current setup.
The additional integration of sportsbook into 711.nl’s existing offering further benefits the new vertical by allowing access to Bragg’s in-house regulatory reporting tools in addition to marketing and promotional tools for sportsbook available through the Bragg Fuze™ toolset.
Bragg’s unique sportsbook relationship with Kambi allows 711.nl to have the autonomy and control of an in-house developed sportsbook through an outsourced, cost effective solution.
The launch follows the award of a sports betting license to 711.nl by the Dutch Gambling Regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), with 711.nl already having a license to operate iGaming in the Dutch market.
711.nl’s sportsbook launch comes ahead of the UEFA European Championship Football tournament final, and the Paris 2024 Olympics which begins at the end of this month.
711.nl currently utilizes Bragg’s Player Account Management (PAM) technology, having previously launched on the Bragg PAM platform in April 2022.
It also uses Bragg’s iGaming content aggregation and product delivery solutions, inclusive of casino content developed by multiple in-house studios and exclusive content from multiple studio partners.
711.nl also uses Fuze™ customer engagement tools in its iGaming operations in the Dutch market, accessing market leading tools which increase user engagement through enabling automated, real-time in-game gamification, conversion and retention mechanisms.
Tools available to online casino and sportsbook operators under the Fuze™ toolset include free rounds, free bets, an AI-powered Game Recommendation System, tournaments, quests and jackpots.
Matej Nemec, Senior Vice President, Commercial, EMEA and LatAm at Bragg, commented: “We’re excited to grow our existing relationship with 711.nl to include this new sportsbook through our partnership with Kambi.
“Our agreement with Kambi is providing a unique mechanism to allow our operator partners to offer sportsbook in a cost effective, time efficient manner.”
Veena Dhesi, SVP Partner Success at Kambi, commented: “We are delighted to once again be teaming up with Bragg to power the launch of the 711.nl sportsbook in the Netherlands.
“Kambi’s deep sports betting offer, which includes sophisticated pricing and trading capabilities as well as an award-winning Bet Builder product perfectly complements Bragg’s PAM expertise, and we look forward to working together to deliver unforgettable sports betting experiences to 711’s players.”
Gilles De Backer, Chief Operating Officer at 711.nl, commented: “Bragg have been a great PAM partner to 711.nl since we first launched in the Dutch market, so it was a definite no-brainer to expand this relationship to include sportsbook for the first time.
“We’re looking forward to seeing how our existing customers and Dutch players in general embrace our new sportsbook.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
