CT Interactive expands European footprint via bet365 partnership in the Netherlands

The expansion into regulated European markets remains a primary objective for many software developers in the iGaming sector. In this context, CT Interactive has achieved a significant milestone by successfully launching its content on the bet365 platform in the Netherlands. This collaboration marks another step in the long standing partnership between the two companies, which have already collaborated in several other regulated territories. Dutch players now gain access to a portfolio specifically tailored to diverse target groups.

By integrating its games into one of the world's leading online gaming platforms, CT Interactive significantly bolsters its visibility in Western Europe. The focus lies on titles that offer both classic mechanics and modern, dynamic features. For the provider, this step is more than just a technical connection. It is a vote of confidence from a global market leader in the quality and reliability of the Bulgarian gaming studio, which has been consistently expanding its European presence for years.

Numbers and facts

The launch includes exactly 25 game titles from CT Interactive. Among the most well known names now available to bet365 customers in the Netherlands are 20 Mega Slot, 40 Shining Jewels, and Big Joker. Titles such as Brilliants Hot, Chilli Fruits, Darkwoods, Duck Of Luck, and Fire Dozen are also part of the package. This selection covers various themes, from traditional fruit slots to mystical adventures, to appeal to a broad user base. The date of the official announcement was July 31, 2026.

Management expressed great satisfaction with the progress. Martin Ivanov, Chief Operating Officer at CT Interactive, emphasized the importance of this step for the company's global strategy.

"Launching CT Interactive’s titles on bet365 Netherlands is an important achievement in our continued international growth. We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with bet365 and bring our content to Dutch players through a trusted operator." - Martin Ivanov, COO at CT Interactive

Vasil Parvanov, Team Lead Commercial Managers at CT Interactive, also highlighted the significance of the cooperation and looks forward to future projects to bring even more engaging experiences to the Netherlands.

Background

CT Interactive has been pursuing a clear strategy of collaborating with leading operators in regulated markets worldwide for some time. Since the opening of its online gambling market, the Netherlands has been considered one of the most attractive locations in Europe, though it is subject to strict regulatory requirements from the local authority KSA (Kansspelautoriteit). bet365 operates there as one of the major licensed players and places high value on the integrity of its partners. The cooperation demonstrates that CT Interactive has successfully navigated the technical and regulatory hurdles to succeed in this demanding environment.

Why it matters for German players

Although this deal primarily affects the Dutch market, it sends a signal to the entire German speaking region. German players registered with operators holding a license from the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) benefit indirectly from such international collaborations. When a software provider like CT Interactive places its titles with a heavyweight like bet365, the likelihood increases that these games will also soon find their way into GGL whitelist casinos. However, specific rules of the State Treaty on Gambling 2021 apply in Germany, which would have to be observed for a potential launch of these slots. This includes the stake limit of a maximum of 1 Euro per game round for virtual slot machines and the mandatory five second pause between spins. Furthermore, the central exclusion system OASIS and the limit control system LUGAS ensure high player protection. Those playing in Germany should strictly ensure they only use platforms officially listed on the GGL whitelist to guarantee legal security and the protection of deposits.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

For German operators with a GGL license, the expansion of CT Interactive offers an opportunity for portfolio diversification. Since the games have already been certified for the strictly regulated Dutch market, the adaptation process to German IT guidelines is often less complex. Operators can increase their attractiveness by integrating such internationally proven titles without compromising strict requirements regarding the monthly deposit limit of 1,000 Euro. Collaborations of this kind strengthen the legal market against unlicensed offers from overseas by providing players with high quality, verified entertainment.
