SEPARATION OF
PLAYERS' FUNDS

IN THE NETHERLANDS

Setting up a Dutch third party funds foundation
in line with KSA guidelines

A COMPLIANT PLAYER FUNDS SEPARATION SOLUTION

When applying for a license to operate an online gambling company in the Netherlands, operators may face challenges navigating the local corporate landscape and encountering resistance from local parties to enter into agreements. One of the critical requirements for a Dutch license is separating player funds from the operator's own capital, which can be problematic if operators cannot establish a relationship with a bank licensed to operate in the Netherlands.

To address this issue, our experts in Amsterdam provide operators with a solution: a Third Party Funds Foundation. This option meets all the requirements for separating player funds. Our team incorporates the foundation, opens bank accounts, provides daily management and corporate solutions, and connects operators with local partners for audit services, legal advice, and tax assistance.

Separating player funds from an operator's risk bearing capital is subject to strict regulations set by the KSA, the Dutch gambling regulatory authority. While several options are available, most require the involvement of a licensed bank in the Netherlands, which may not always be feasible. Our third-party funds' foundation complies with KSA regulations and is available to all licensed operators, providing a sophisticated solution.

A Compliant Player Funds Separation Solution

We assist you with the separation of player funds by:

 

  • Setting up your (dedicated) third party funds foundation in the Netherlands,

 

  • Providing all required documentation regarding the separation of player funds as part of your application process,

 

  • Checking the foundation's bank account balance against outstanding funds weekly,

 

  • Providing management for the foundation,

 

  • Providing supervisory board member candidates for the foundation,

 

  • Opening the foundation’s bank accounts,
