Betsson AB is known to be one of the greatest sports betting sites in Europe. According to EGR magazine, it has been confirmed that Betsson AB pulled out of Netherlands market.

Betsson is the company behind Dutch focused online casino brands Oranje and Kroon. The company told Betsson that they ceased promotion in order to avoid any legal consequences in future as the market will be regulated soon.

Betsson told the media that they want to comply with the regulations and policies that are in the market. Betsson AB brands will not accept players or any bets from IP addresses from Netherlands.

The regulator to this market gave a warning to operators in 2014 that they did not acquire their licenses if they continued offer services to their customers prior to the market regulations that were planned. The Dutch regulator is known as Kansspelautoriteit (KSA).

Betsson AB’s withdrawal came after last week’s announcement by KSA that they were making strong the advertising code through an agreement to new advertising policies with media operators in the country.

There is a build up to new online gambling rules in the Netherlands and this has prompted a couple of betting operators in Europe to withdraw from the market so as to meet with the licensing standards of approval. Some of the operators who withdrew are 888 and William Hill.

William Hill is one of the renowned UK gambling operators. Recently they pulled out from the Romanian Market. Punters were unable to continue with their betting endeavours from Tuesday 3rd June. This is after the company ceased their operations and suspended the Romanian accounts. They asked the players to make submissions of their winnings payouts.

All those webmasters who acted as the Romanian market affiliates were also instructed to get rid of banners and links which connected their sites to Romania. A Spokesperson for William Hill said that their actions were prompted by the developments around regulating the Romanian market.

A new online gambling framework is being institutionalised in Romania which is planned to attract a couple of international licensees. Last month, the government made announcements that they needed all license applicants to pay up back taxes worth 20% of all the winnings from their Romanian players dating back to 2009. William Hill’s exit follows what Ladbrokes did in January, as well as Bet365.

On May 28^th the president of Romania signed the new amendments to Government Bill 92/2014 which left the law to be published in the Official Journal for it to be put into effect. Interested operators have until the end of 2015 to send in their application to the National Gambling Office for the licenses.

On other news regarding William Hill, they ceased their offerings for their poker rake-back offers as from 1^st June. William Hill runs on Playtech’s iPoker network which prompted them to change to source-based rake model this year in February which was their model of rewarding skins for bringing in more players to their poker arena. For players who were on the rake-back deals will be switched to Hill’s VIP program.

Thanks to Inspired Gaming Group, Hills now has two new HTML5 mobile applications. These fascinating games include a Romanian themed omni-channel smash by the name Centurion which is at this time one of William Hills’ top 3 games. The other is the called Spirit of the Samurai which is a free spins slot. The SVP to the mobile section at William Hill; Dave Hammond said that he was excited with the performance of the two games which are exclusive to William Hill’s mobile platform.
