Market Growth Statistics

The Dutch wagering sphere is attractive for modern entrepreneurs with its great profits and development potential. The final legalisation of the industry took place on October 1, 2021. The new findings were published on April 26, 2023, in the KSA regulator's 4th Monitoring Report.
