Nederlandse Loterij, the Dutch lottery, is responsible for implementing Dutch gambling policies and serves as a role model in offering gambling responsibly. When people participate in our games of chance, we want them to do so safely and responsibly. In this open call, we are looking for innovative solutions to help us fulfill our duty of care even more effectively and to better protect our players.
Games of chance provide entertainment and excitement but can also lead to problematic behavior with serious consequences for individuals and their surroundings. Our focus is on ensuring a gaming environment in which players can enjoy our diverse games of chance in a responsible and safe manner. Therefore, we invite you to come up with innovative ideas that can help us achieve this goal.
At Nederlandse Loterij, we place great importance on responsible gaming. The enjoyment and safety of our players is essential to us. We are constantly seeking innovative companies and solutions that can assist us in providing even better protection for our players.
What do we mean by responsible gaming? It means that players engage in gambling in such a way that it is purely recreational. The amount of time and money they invest in it has no negative impact on their studies, careers, relationships, and/or hobbies.
Do you have solutions that can help us protect our players and promote responsible gaming behavior? We would love to receive your submission!
