LiveScore Malta Limited (part of LiveScore Group) has confirmed the withdrawal of its LiveScore Bet brand from the Netherlands, with operations set to formally cease on 29 November 2024.

The decision follows the planned government tax increase which is set to rise by almost a quarter from 30.5% to 37.8% of Gross Gambling Revenue. The relinquishment of LiveScore Bet’s licence has been communicated to the regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (the KSA).

Currently, the primary concern for LiveScore Bet is of the impact on its people and customers. A process is now underway to inform all LiveScore Bet customers, whilst account registration has been deactivated meaning that there will be no new players join the site. All impacted employees have been informed and are now subject to a confidential consultation process.

Sam Sadi, CEO of LiveScore Group, said: “On behalf of all LiveScore Malta directors, it is with regret that we have made the difficult decision to exit LiveScore Bet from the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the planned tax increase means that this market is no longer viable commercially.

“Since our launch in 2021 we have built a brilliant community of engaged customers, and we will greatly miss our relationship with them. We would like to thank our players, people and partners during our time in operation.”

LiveScore Bet Netherlands will be implementing the follow steps for active players to smooth the closure transition:

• Week commencing 25th of November, players will no longer be able to deposit funds.

• Player account balances will still be able to be used to wager until 29 November 2024.

• On 29 November 2024, LiveScore Bet will discontinue the ability for players to participate in games of chance and wager.

• On 29 November 2024, LiveScore Bet will also refund all player account balances to the linked contra accounts.

• LiveScore Bet will allow players to contact customer support post 29 November to ask questions about their account, and the disbursement of funds in the event of any withdrawals that could not be refunded on 29 November 2024.
