The Netherlands – NYX partners with Nederlandse Loterij
By Phil - 3 April 2017
NYX Gaming Group has been selected as the new platform provider to Nederlandse Loterij, the recently-formed Dutch national lottery, following the merger between De Lotto and Nederlandse Staatsloterij in 2016.
World Lottery Association member NYX has delivered Nederlandse Loterij with its Open Platform System (OPS), into which the databases of players from both the previous lotteries have been successfully migrated.
The NYX OPS platform will act as the player management system for Nederlandse Loterij and manage all lottery and sports betting products distributed through all retail and digital channels.
Under the terms of the agreement, NYX will also provide Nederlandse Loterij with its award-winning Open Gaming System (OGS), as well as full support and maintenance including hosting via its data centre in Paris.
NYX CEO Matt Davey, commented: “It is a privilege to be working with Nederlandse Loterij, who are a key player on the world lottery stage. The team has been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to developing our partnership over the coming months.”
Nederlandse Loterij merged with De Lotto in 2016 to create a €1bn (£725m) lottery operator. It houses seven well-known gambling entities in the Netherlands including brands such as Staatsloterij, Lotto, Toto, Eurojackpot, Miljoenenspel, Lucky Day and Krasloten, and invests millions annually in Dutch sport and 18 charities in the area of health and movement.
Joost den Heijer, COO Nederlandse Loterij commented: “At every stage of our collaboration, NYX has lived up to its reputation as a world-leading gaming content and platform provider. Moving to its OPS and a single player database has been highly beneficial to Nederlandse Loterij and we look forward to many more years of success together.”
