The Dutch Games industry suffered a unimaginable loss today: due to a change in public funding policy, the Dutch Game Garden - which without exaggeration could be regarded as the beating heart of the Dutch games industry - has announced its closure after 17 years of service due to a lack of funding available. To put that into perspective, when I was dropping out of university, the "DGG" was where I went to start Vlambeer. Being in that building, with all the other studios and developers, was an invaluable part of accelerating my career. I don't think I'd be here without the guidance and selfless support of the team back in the days. Pick any random person in the Dutch games industry, and it's likely that at least one point or another in their career, the Garden was a critical factor, a meaningful support, or a useful resource. In the Netherlands, we have a disproportionally talented and creative games industry - but we also have had a lot to be jealous about when it comes to the structures supporting the industry in other countries. Yet, on my travels, the Garden was consistently named as something the rest of the world was envious of. An institute that enabled, incubated, organized, and connected almost every aspect of the games industry - brightly visible, a beacon, a clubhouse, a facilitator. All that now ends in 2025, and it feels borderline unacceptable to lose something that powerful in a time where the industry, more than anything, needs symbols of hope. The team at the Dutch Game Garden gave it their all to find a way forward, but that way never materialized. That means it is now up to all of us to make sure that we carry their torch forward. As a person, I have many more thoughts and tears to shed about this loss - but as a board member of the Dutch Games Association, I know there's a lot of work we can do to ensure the damage caused by their forced closure is at the very least reduced. We are already actively evaluating how our association can ensure continuity on at least some of the incredible activities of the Dutch Games Garden. And, as the person responsible for government relations, I am going to give it everything I have to ensure this will never happen again. If you are a part of our industry, and you have thoughts, ideas, or initiatives you want to share with us, or me, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]. If you just want to vent about this, express your feelings, or share a story - please do feel free to reach out too. Thank you so much to everyone who made the countless iterations of the Dutch Game Garden possible. It would not be an exaggeration that there would be far less of us without your efforts. I would not be here without your support. Your legacy remains - and while I can't speak for everyone, based on the countless messages I received today I know many of us feel the same: we'll miss the Garden, but we will make sure we grow onwards on the soil you've nurtured for us.

The top reasons offshore gamblers keep returning One surprising difference between regulated (onshore) and offshore gambling markets is how player behaviour shifts when they step outside regulated platforms. For instance, offshore players tend to: 🎁 Seek larger bonuses with fewer restrictions, drawn to big offers that aren’t limited by strict terms. 💸 Make bigger, less frequent deposits, especially high rollers who find fewer limits on how much they can deposit or risk in a single session. ⏳ Engage in longer play sessions, often without breaks, as offshore platforms lack the mandatory session limits you find in regulated markets. These behaviours highlight a clear difference in player motivation. They also help explain why offshore platforms keep drawing attention. So, what truly keeps players coming back to offshore sites? In a newsletter I wrote, Regulated vs. Offshore Online Gambling Markets, I explore the differences in more detail and what shapes offshore players' choices and preferences. You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/dHZWfJJm Where do you think the future of offshore gambling is headed?

We've created a short case study on how Omeda Studios migrated to Pragma and significantly improved matchmaking. Some key points about the Predecessor migration: 🔹 Omeda migrated over 1 million players to Pragma in 5 months 🔹 70% improvement in average match quality rating 🔹 66% reduction in average matchmaking queue time Reasons for switching to Pragma: 🔸 Complete extensibility 🔸 Complete ownership and source code access 🔸 Experienced team and hands-on support The migration to Pragma's Backend engine allowed Omeda to: ✅ Build a custom matchmaker ✅ Add new online features ✅ Have more control over their backend For their backend engine, live game hosting and co-development, the Omeda Studios team worked closely with the Pragma, AWS for Games and Code Wizards teams, fostering great teamwork. I've been browsing Reddit for comments since the migration, and these posts say it all... "My matchmaking experience has been much better since Omeda's backend rework", and "Better games, yes, absolutely a huge improvement."

I did a talk titled "Building A Legends Team" at the Esports Revolution conference in Antwerp a few years ago, and for me one thing trumps all: Culture. The talk was based on 3 core components that drive my philosophy on how to recruit, engage and retain great people with similar mindsets and turning it into high performance, and it all starts with culture. It doesn't matter if you are running high performance athletes, sales, marketing or engineering - culture trumps everything to me, because it's the backbone of your daily operations. It's how we interact, how we solve problems, come up with new ideas and the north star that everyone can steer after. The first component of being a culture-first organisation, is defining your values. Your rules of engagement. Defining your values can be many things, and there's no right or wrong. Examples can be: "Always have fun" "Results before anything" "Move fast and try again" "We micro-manage everything" "Never skip compliance sign-off" You might like or dislike some of them personally, but it doesn't make them right or wrong. Results before anything might be the right one for a highly competitive industry where shorter term bottom line results wins, and micro managing might be right in a highly technical field creating vital tools for medical surgeries. It could also work in any other context, it doesn't really matter what the context is. What matters the most is that it's authentic in how you believe in running your company. Don't ever hide away from your true leadership values. Own them hard, no matter how controversial they may be versus whats popular right now. Authenticity and genuine intentions always win in my book. People need to truly know what they're getting into and what to expect from the company they work with. So when they choose you and your values, the rewards are much higher for everybody, because execution and personalities are coherent throughout the whole company and the shared journey for great momentum is in full force. So, if you're stuck at a crossroads in your company, having a hard time getting through various bottlenecks or just need to recalibrate, get your leadership team together for a weekend somewhere, and double down on truly defining the culture and all the rules of engagement going into it. It's never the wrong decision. And then, you act it - truly act it. Go get it! #leadership #team #management #culture #esports #gaming #entrepreneurship

"The two most powerful warriors are patience and time." 2018 - Many of us met with the IOC in Switzerland to explore esports. 2024 - IOC proposes the Esports Olympic Games! Could start next year. Some good ideas just take a while. I am optimistic about the additional cultural legitimacy the Olympics can provide to esports. And the generational relevancy and digital engagement esports can provide to the Olympics. There WILL be stumbles out of the game. More likely than not the very first games selected by the IOC will not be ideal. But ultimately more competitive gaming and more media content and coverage benefits the games industry, the esports industry and most importantly the esports competitors themselves -- given patience and time.

The impact of the Dutch Game Garden on the European game industry goes far beyond the borders of the Netherlands. It was among the first game industry-focused incubators, and for years, it inspired and set the benchmark for a number of similar initiatives and game education institutions across the continent. In many ways, its example has helped to build the foundations of local game industry ecosystems in Europe. The sad faith of the Dutch Game Garden is also a warning sign for everyone working with game industry ecosystem building in Europe. As long as we rely on public funding, there is always a risk that one day, even the most established and long-standing game industry talent-building institutions will become victims of budget cuts and changing political priorities. It is true that building a long-standing game incubator focused on early-stage first-round start-ups requires public funding in Europe, but it should be done in partnership with private funding that ensures that initiatives stay alive when the (local) government changes its priorities. The true challenge is building a model that survives the ever-changing priorities of both the public government and the private companies.

I closely monitor the Dutch gambling market. 🔍 To be honest, I do not understand some of the activities of the regulator (KSA), which are aimed at protecting the market and players at risk of gambling addiction. Various types of bans and limits are being introduced that have the opposite effect, an example of which was seen in markets such as neighboring Germany. All kinds of limits on stakes or spins lead to... Strengthening illegal gambling companies. This is especially the case with online casinos. 👀 Meanwhile, the Netherlands is introducing even more extensive limits from October 1. Well, from October, new deposit limits will come into force, with different thresholds for particular age groups: - Players aged 18-24: monthly deposit limit set at €300. 💵 - Players over 24 years of age: monthly deposit limit set at €700. 💵 Of course, this involves even more surveillance of players, which is also poorly received. The worst thing about it, however, is that it will not bring the intended effect, in my opinion. It also lacks logic, why does a 25-year-old player have the right to spend more money on entertainment than a 24-year-old? 🤔 It may be that a younger player earns more and can afford to spend more on gambling entertainment. When introducing limits, as exemplified by the British market, there is always a lack of consultation with the industry. Consultations with practitioners who also care about the well-functioning of the market. 🤷‍♂️ An in-depth analysis of the Dutch market will soon appear on our iGaming Express website. I encourage you to follow our Social Media. Tomorrow we will describe the German market. 👀 📕 What about Frank Op de Woerd and other observers?

Hello folks, Those developing a P2E (Play-to-Earn) portal may have various goals, one of which could be strengthening their own native coin or contributing to their preferred cryptocurrency's ecosystem and, ultimately, increasing its value. Thanks to the unique features of such platforms, they generally attract more interest from developers, players, and portal managers compared to traditional portals. The following post provides a detailed explanation of this in 18 slides. Take a look! hashtag #P2E #games #Gameportal #cryptocurrency #Play2Earn #HTML5Game
