LiveScore Malta Limited, the operator behind LiveScore Bet, and Tombola International Malta PLC have voluntarily requested the revocation of their online gambling licenses in the Netherlands. The Dutch Gambling Authority (Kansspelautoriteit) has approved both requests, officially withdrawing the licenses as of December 23, 2024.

Hold licenses to offer online gambling

This decision means that LiveScore and Tombola no longer hold licenses to offer online gambling services in the Dutch market.

The withdrawal marks a significant shift for both companies, which had been active players in the regulated Dutch gambling landscape. The specific reasons behind their voluntary requests have not been disclosed, leaving room for speculation about strategic realignments or changing priorities within their respective operations.

As of now, Dutch players seeking online gambling services will need to turn to other licensed operators approved by the Kansspelautoriteit. The regulatory body continues to ensure that only authorized providers operate within the Netherlands, maintaining a safe and controlled environment for online gambling.

This development highlights the dynamic nature of the Dutch gambling market, where operators must navigate evolving regulations and market conditions. For players and industry stakeholders alike, this serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying the licensing status of gambling platforms before engaging with them.
