Already a long-term partner of the supplier and member of the World Lottery Association, Nederlandse Loterij now has the company's full digital sports betting solution available.

Scientific Games additionally provides Nederlandse Loterij with lottery instant games.

Keith O'Loughlin, SVP sportsbook, digital at Scientific Games, said: "Credit to the teams across Nederlandse Loterij and our in-house development teams.

“In the last eight weeks we have launched six sportbooks across the globe for leading brands in our major regulated markets. Demand has driven a total transformation in our ability to deploy services."

Maurice Meijer, Nederlandse Loterij CTO, said: "Moving onto Scientific Games' sports betting platform was important to us, as we strive to offer our customers the best experience with Nederlandse Loterij and its brands every day.

“We are very content with the smooth go-live process, due to the close cooperation of both of our teams. Since enhancing our offering, we've received strong customer feedback welcoming the new user interface.”

Scientific Games' share price closed at $19.83 last week, with shares much closer to their pre-pandemic value. Shares hit a low of $3.76 on 18 March, sitting at a year-high of $30.45 on 12 February.
