“We look forward to offering Dutch players access to Unibet poker alongside our sports & casino products” Unibet Poker will soon launch under license in the Netherlands, PRO can confirm. It follows parent company Kindred Group’s receipt of an iGaming license from the Dutch gambling authority, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).

The company’s flagship brand Unibet will launch Unibet.NL “in the coming days,” the company reported via press release on Wednesday. While the company did not reveal its launch plans in today’s release, PRO understands that Unibet will offer poker alongside its sports and casino verticals.

“We are very excited about the Dutch License!” a Unibet spokesperson told PRO. “We look forward to offering Dutch players access to Unibet poker alongside our sports and casino products.”

It will be the fourth online poker room to launch in the Netherlands since October 1, 2021, when an unexpected blackout period forced out all unlicensed operators.
