KSA grants Dutch gambling licenses to online casinos Lucky 7 and Starcasino

The Netherlands’ Gaming Authority, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has granted licenses to online casinos Lucky 7 and Starcasino, thus allowing the two brands to legally operate in the country’s online gambling market. 

Lucky 7 will be powered by Finnplay, becoming the fifth brand to go live with the platform’s technology in the Dutch iGaming market. The license received by Lucky 7 is a B2C Netherlands online gaming license. Finnplay operates as part of Entain, employing over 100 professionals across four countries.

“We are thrilled to have achieved this important milestone, and we now look forward to a very successful brand launch soon,” commented Frank Loffeld, COO of Lucky 7. “Finnplay’s team was instrumental in helping us navigate the complex application process, and we’re pleased to have their continued support as we launch Lucky 7 to the market.”

Jaakko Soininen, Managing Director of Finnplay, added: “Our team is proud to have helped Lucky 7 get over the line in their Dutch license application, keeping our perfect record of Dutch compliance intact. We are eager to help them officially launch the brand now and turn it into a very successful business in the Netherlands.” 

Meanwhile, Starcasino which has also officially entered the Netherlands, separately operates websites in Belgium and Spain. “Today we received good news: Green Island has officially received the license from the Gaming Authority for our Star Casino brand,” noted Kylian Olierook, Country Director Netherlands at Star Casino, via CasinoNieuws.

“We have already gained quite some experience with licenses in Spain and Belgium, so we are ready to become successful in the Netherlands as well. With our own in-house platform we can offer players in the Netherlands something unique and above all responsible.  When are we going live? Of course, we want to do that as soon as possible, but we also want to set everything up properly. So, stay tuned,” he concluded.
