TonyBet aligns with KVA’s stringent affiliate standards, marking a significant step in its Dutch market debut.
TonyBet, a renowned gaming operator, has recently embraced the Keurmerk Verantwoorde Affiliates (KVA) quality marker, a testament to its commitment to responsible gaming in the Netherlands. The KVA, an esteemed branch of the Quality Mark Responsible Affiliates (QMRA), collaborates with a plethora of operators, including industry giants like Unibet and LeoVegas.
The quality mark serves as a beacon of trust, often a prerequisite for operators before engaging with affiliates. Moreover, KVA’s legal experts offer invaluable counsel to compliance officers, ensuring adherence to the stringent Dutch regulations. A pivotal aspect of KVA’s service includes compiling age demographic reports, a mandatory requirement for Dutch operators.
In anticipation of its Dutch launch, TonyBet is diligently working on compliance, bolstered by the KVA’s support. The operator’s Dutch journey began with obtaining its license in November 2022, setting the stage for a compliant and successful market entry.
XY Legal Solutions expanded the QMRA quality mark to six additional markets, inspired by KVA’s success in the Netherlands. This expansion includes key markets like Spain, Germany, and the UK. Recently, QMRA recognized three new sites for their compliance, furthering the reach of responsible gaming standards.
In regulatory updates, the Dutch KSA has slated 3 June 2024 for the release of its revised Responsible Gaming Policy Rules. However, the publication of specific articles will be staggered, with a couple expected in October.
The KSA’s commitment to integrity is evident in its recent actions, including imposing penalties on Casbit Group NV and instructing DigitalOcean to disengage from illegal affiliate activities.
