Our Amsterdam office is the hub for EM Group's operations in the Netherlands, serving iGaming operators who are licensed under the Dutch regulatory framework.
The Netherlands has one of Europe's most demanding iGaming compliance environments, and the obligation to legally separate player funds from operational capital is the defining challenge for operators in the market. Our team in Amsterdam manages this process directly — from incorporating the required foundation through to daily management, annual audits, and full KSA reporting — so operators can meet this requirement without building the infrastructure themselves.
Beyond player fund separation, our team covers the full scope of compliance and corporate services that KSA-licensed operators need: AML and KYC procedures, regulatory reporting, company administration, and banking support. We have been embedded in this market since EM Group Netherlands was incorporated in June 2021, giving clients direct access to local expertise and regulatory relationships.
Jurisdiction
Focus
The Netherlands introduced a fully regulated online gambling market in October 2021 under the Remote Gambling Act (Wet Kansspelen op Afstand). The Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) is one of Europe's strictest regulators, with rigorous requirements around player protection, responsible gambling, advertising restrictions, and financial compliance. For operators, this means a licensed presence in the Netherlands requires substantial ongoing compliance effort. Our Amsterdam team has been embedded in this market since EM Group Netherlands was incorporated in June 2021, giving clients direct access to local expertise and regulatory relationships.
