​​Game Lounge Enters the Dutch Market With the Acquisition of Meneer Casino

The acquisition of Meneer Casino will serve to strengthen Game Lounge’s presence in the Dutch market.

Richard Dennys, CEO of Game Lounge, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Martin and his team to Game Lounge. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our growth strategy and commitment to providing high-quality iGaming experiences to players worldwide. Meneer Casino’s strong reputation and deep understanding of the Dutch market make them an invaluable addition to our network.”

Meneer Casino focuses on in-depth reviews, guides, and comparisons of licensed online casinos, ensuring players can make informed decisions in a safe and regulated environment.

Martin van Geest, Founder and Chief Editor of Meneer Casino, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, added: “Joining forces with Game Lounge marks an exciting new chapter for Meneer Casino. At Meneer Casino, our mission is to provide players with honest, reliable information so they can make better choices and play smarter. We’re confident that Game Lounge’s expertise and resources will help us reach an even wider audience of Dutch players.”

Ben Robinson, Managing Partner of Corfai Capital, who brokered the deal, highlighted that it brings together two “highly complementary businesses” and highlighted the significant value created through the collaboration.

The acquisition comes amid ongoing political strife in the country over the adoption of new regulations. Holland Casino previously outlined its view on strengthening support against the upcoming tax increases proposed by the Dutch government.

The increase follows the 2025 budget presented by Dutch Finance Minister Eelko Heinen. In particular, the casino must reduce opening hours at its sites in Rotterdam and Amsterdam from next year. The closure of the Zandvoort branch has also already been confirmed by February 2025.
