Sports Betting Increases In Popularity As Altenar Arrives In The Netherlands! | Achieving Certification
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Entering the Netherlands iGaming market has been a dedicated dream for Altenar for sometime and as a result, achieving certification within the region has been a tremendous achievement for the sports betting software provider that has followed in the footsteps of many powerhouses in the iGaming space.

This is where Altenar, a sportsbook software provider, has sparked interest in the Netherlands market and understood that its bespoke services will bring something fresh and unique to the market space.  

As the Netherlands market opened up, it became clear to Altenar that a niche space had arrived, much akin to Italy, Spain and Sweden where regulation and certificates were potentially subject to change, but were also a must-have requirement for operations within the Netherlands.

With gambling inside the Netherlands regulated under the Betting and Gambling Act 2021 or as it’s locally known, Wet op de kansspelen 2021 “BGA”, Altenar’s team has taken the time to ensure operators using its sports betting software will be able to operate legally, in line with the necessary regulatory requirements.

Given the Netherlands betting market’s heritage for arcade-based games, Altenar’s use of widget technology, amongst other features, will offer familiar forms of betting that have taken shape in newer and more accessible forms through the iGaming space. 

So, what does Altenar, a sports betting software provider bring to the Netherlands market, where betting is prohibited unless licensed and what makes Altenar the perfect sports betting provider for the region? 

 

A Great Addition For The Netherlands iGaming Portfolio 

Having achieved certifications in the Netherlands market, has garnered inordinate interest from operators with Altenar, who is known for its flexible and stable approach to sports betting content, software and long-standing relationships across the world. 

It’s from a strong core of adaptability that Altenar has been able to secure its foothold in the Netherlands market, but it’s also an attribute to what Altenar has to offer. You can discover more about Altenar’s new features, success stories and case studies through its website, www.altenar .com, while informing yourself of what your operations could look like with Altenar’s sportsbook software. 

With 24/7 support, an always improving risk management system, top-tier sports content and a dedication to innovation, Altenar’s sportsbook is set to take the Netherlands by storm and you can go along for the ride by contacting Altenar’s passionate team today. 

Joining Altenar as it covers new ground and finds new ways to provide top-of-the-range sports betting software and content for your players will be one of your best investments this year.

Venues Warned to Play by the Rules on ANZAC Day

Liquor & Gaming NSW is urging licensed venues across the state to plan ahead and have proper measures in place to ensure safe and responsible ANZAC Day commemorations.

Pubs and clubs can face additional challenges on April 25 that come with managing larger than normal crowds and the playing of two-up.

Two-up was a popular game among World War I veterans and, while illegal as an unregulated form of gambling most of the year, is legally played every ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day and Victory in the Pacific Day in their memory.

Liquor & Gaming NSW Executive Director Regulatory Operations, Jane Lin, said inspectors would carry out checks of licensed premises in Sydney and regional areas on ANZAC Day to ensure compliance with the state’s liquor and gaming laws.

“Two-up is a great Australian tradition and a way for people to come together at pubs and clubs to enjoy the ANZAC spirit,” Lin said. “While venues do not need a permit to host two-up, they are encouraged to fully understand and observe the traditional rules of the coin-tossing game.

“Licensed venues are reminded to properly manage potential risks linked to larger crowds, increased rates of intoxication, gambling disputes, extended high volume trading and special ANZAC Day liquor promotions.”

Venues’ advertising and promotions must align with liquor promotion guidelines.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has chaired a limited meeting which discussed the efforts taken to eradicate online gambling in the country on Thursday 18 April, at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. Minister for Communication and Information Technology Budi Arie Setiadi, in his press statement after the limited meeting, said that the Government will form a task force to counter online gambling.

“It has been decided that within a week, we will formulate measures to form an integrated task force in order to eradicate online gambling,” Budi said.

Minister for Communication and Information Technology mentioned that forming a cross-ministries/institutions task force is aimed to handle online gambling more thoroughly, collaboratively and efficiently.

“Gambling is an illegal act based on regulations. So, we need to impose measures effectively to settle it,” Budi stated, adding that his ministry will focus on handling online gambling websites and contents, while the law enforcement officers will enforce the law.

“Our authority is only to take down the websites, while the Financial Services Authority (OJK) blocks their financial accounts, and then followed by law enforcement officers, police officers, and the public prosecution service officers,” he remarked.

Similarly, OJK’s Chairperson of Commissioner Board Mahendra Siregar also highlighted the importance of holistic measures in eradicating online gambling in Indonesia.

“Some online gambling activities are not conducted in Indonesia, some are cross-borders, some do not use bank accounts, some needs to be tracked and traced through bank accounts, including transfers and so on. So, the next layers must also be addressed, and that way it leaves no empty rooms,” Mahendra explained.

Mahendra said that according to the institution’s authority, from the end of 2023 to March 2024, OJK has blocked around 5000 bank accounts that indicate its relation to online gambling.

“So far, we have cooperated closely with Communications and Information Technology Ministry. So, if we receive a list of bank accounts suspected to be used or are being used in online gambling activities, we immediately block them, and it has reached up to 5000 bank accounts,” Mahendra mentioned.
