Hard Rock Casino gets Dutch sports licence while ranked 13th of 261 brands

Hard Rock Casino in the Netherlands now can accept bets. From 22 May 2024, this brand could offer only casino games.

SpinCore said that day that work remains before kick-off. Its Q1 update noted an application already filed, with a possible go-live towards the end of the third quarter, subject to approval and readiness. The amendment is dated after that quarter closed.

September 2026 is the last full month before that change, so the rank and Blask Index below cover the casino brand only, with no sportsbook series for it in the Netherlands.

According to Blask data, Hard Rock Casino ranked 13th of 261 brands for BAP in that month.

Hard Rock Casino trails BetMGM and 777 by less than a tenth of a percentage points.

Blask Index of Hard Rock Casino in September 2026 was 23.1% above a year earlier, and 32.2% under the December 2025 peak. The low came after a smaller May rebound that stayed short of the high.

The sportsbook will open onto that lower line, in a month that SpinCore has not set.
