Hard Rock Casino NL has received official authorization from the Dutch Gaming Authority, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), to integrate online sports betting into its existing iGaming platform in the Netherlands. Operated by iCasino under a brand license agreement with Hard Rock Digital and managed by Spincore Group, the brand has been active in the Dutch market with an online casino since July 2024. The license extension officially took effect on Monday, October 12.

Managed by Spincore Group, the brand acquisition of the sportsbook license marks a critical milestone in broadening its entertainment offerings for players across the Netherlands.
