Since 2021, we have also been offering casino games and live sports betting. Continuous developments require people who move along, People who take advantage of opportunities. People like you.
Not everyone realises that Nederlandse Loterij was once founded as a fundraising organisation for Dutch sports and charities. It is our purpose to contribute to a happy, healthy and sporty Netherlands.
Our company dates back to 1726. That was the year that the predecessor of Nederlandse Staatsloterij was established: the Generaliteitsloterij. This lottery was about more than simply supplementing the national treasury. Market regulation was another important task at the time. Fun fact: during the first lottery in the Ridderzaal in The Hague in 1726, no fewer than 120,000 tickets were sold and a first prize of 30,000 guilders was won.
Taking part in our games should, above all, be fun. That is why we are committed to responsible gaming at Nederlandse Loterij. We don’t just say that, we also do it. This is confirmed by the Responsible Gaming Certificate of Alignment. We received this certificate from the European Lotteries industry association after our range of games was extensively tested.
Did you know that our profit is shared with 18 charities, the Ministry of Finance and NOC*NSF (Dutch organised sports federation) and thus ends up with KWF (Dutch Cancer Fund), TeamNL and our Orange Lionesses? In 2021, we gave a total of €188 million to sports, charities and society. This is how we contribute to a happy, healthy and sporty Netherlands. Together with NOC*NSF and 20 health funds, we are working towards one goal: that the Netherlands will have the healthiest generation in the world by 2040.
