The August 24 announcement comes after the long-time partners successfully completed an integration process, which married SG’s OpenSports wagering technology with the lottery’s sports betting interface.

As an added cherry on top of the enhanced deal, Nederlandse Loterij will also have access to SG’s instant lottery games. Maurice Meijer, chief technology officer for Nederlandse Loterij, expressed the organization’s contentment with the good working relationship it has established with SG, in addition to “the smooth go-live process”.

Meijer said the move to Scientific Games’ sports betting platform was in line with the lottery’s goal to provide customers with “the best experience”. He observed: “Since enhancing our offering, we’ve received strong customer feedback welcoming the new user interface.”
