UK online gaming giant Bet365 has gone live in the Netherlands, offering a full slate of online casino games, sports betting and poker on the iPoker network.

It becomes the third licensed online poker room in the country, following the launch of GGPoker and fellow iPoker skin Holland Casino last month.

Meanwhile, operators temporarily excluded from the market are adjusting to their new situation. Lex Veldhuis, online poker’s most successful active streamer and a leading PokerStars ambassador, has relocated to Belgium to continue streaming following the operator’s abrupt market exit.

Meanwhile, Kindred Group has accepted that their withdrawal will last until at least Q2 2022 when it hopes to obtain a local license.
