JVH to Utilize Kambi Group in Launching Dutch Online Betting Offering
The JVH gaming & entertainment group, part of the larger JVH group, has expressed its intentions in harnessing new partner Kambi Group’s high-performance sportsbook and powerful collection of front-end and price differentiation tools to in turn launch its online sports betting offering in the Dutch gambling market.

The group now intends to enter the online gaming market upon the necessary regulation being passed and coming into effect, with an engaging sports betting offer standing as a crucial component of their igaming offering.
