Online casino and bookmaker Tonybet will soon enter the Dutch gambling market. Tonybet has informed Intikkertje. The license application has been with the Kansspelautoriteit for some time. Tonybet expects to be added within two months to the already existing legal casino offer in The Netherlands.
Tonybet was once taken over by Tony G., a big man in the poker world. Tony G. aka Antanas Guoga bought the online casino Ombinet and gave it its own name Tonybet.
Meanwhile, the company is part of the Swedish Betsson which we also know from the likes of Kroon Casino, Casino Winner and Oranje Casino.
Earlier, Betsson intimated that it will re-launch the brands Kroon Casino, Oranje Casino and Betsson in 2022 in the Netherlands. The license applications are pending with the KSA and are expected to be approved within two months.

In the Netherlands, Tonybet will not be allowed to offer these events. The Kansspel Authority (KSA) prohibits legal bookmakers to offer the opportunity to gamble on events. Such events are sensitive to match-fixing, according to the KSA.
