Best esports betting sites in the Netherlands 2026

The Netherlands is home to Team Liquid, two-time winners of The International. Dutch-licensed bookmakers do not offer esports markets, so the sites that take esports bets from Dutch players are all offshore, and they differ a lot in how you pay in and get paid out.

The top 3 and the list compare 7 of them on euro accounts, iDEAL, payout routes and crypto, and the licence each one lists. None holds a KSA licence; the short legal summary is lower down.

Short answer

Which esports bookmakers accept players from the Netherlands, and what should I check?

The 7 offshore bookmakers below. Compare the payout route first: three have no withdrawal methods on file and two pay out in crypto only. iDEAL is listed at one site, for deposits. None holds a KSA licence, so Cruks and the Dutch complaint route do not apply.

Patterns and exceptions

What the Netherlands list shows

Payouts

The way out varies more than the way in

What it means: decide how you want to be paid before you deposit, and ask support where nothing is listed.

Exception: 31bet lists Skrill, Neteller, Visa and Mastercard for withdrawals, the widest choice here.
Dutch methods

iDEAL and Trustly are deposit-only

What it means: a bank-based deposit does not mean a bank-based payout here.

Exception: FatPirate lists iDEAL and Trustly together, but no withdrawal methods.
Licence

Three licences, none Dutch

What it means: Cruks self-exclusion and the Dutch complaint route do not apply at any of them.

Exception: Funky Jackpot also lists a UK Gambling Commission licence.

Payments

How money moves at these sites

iDEAL and Trustly

iDEAL is listed for deposits at FatPirate; Trustly at FatPirate, Betrebels and Funky Jackpot. Neither is listed for payouts.

So what: keep a card, e-wallet or crypto wallet ready for withdrawals.

Cards and e-wallets

Visa and Mastercard are listed for deposits at 6 of 7 and for withdrawals at 2.

So what: a card deposit is easy; a card payout is not guaranteed.

Crypto

Six of seven list crypto deposits; ThunderPick takes crypto only.

So what: the coin's price can move between your deposit and your payout.

Currency

Six of seven list euro accounts. Fortunejack lists crypto balances only.

So what: at Fortunejack your balance is in crypto, not euros.

Payment methods as listed for the 7 bookmakers on 8 Oct 2026. Fees and limits are set by each bookmaker and payment provider.

Method

How we pick bookmakers for the Netherlands

The same approach applies in every market. These are the checks that matter most for players in the Netherlands.

What a bookmaker needs to make this list

  1. Accepts players from the Netherlands

    A bookmaker is listed for the Netherlands only if it accepts players from the Netherlands. The order adapts to what is available there, so it can differ from our worldwide ranking.

  2. Licence as listed

    Each licence appears exactly as the bookmaker lists it. We only call a bookmaker licensed in the Netherlands when it lists a licence from the Netherlands.

  3. Local currency and payments

    EUR accounts and local methods such as PaysafeCard, Apple Pay and Trustly count, for withdrawals as well as deposits.

  4. Esports coverage

    Which esports titles each bookmaker lists, from CS2, Dota 2, LoL and Valorant to the titles followed in the Netherlands.

  5. Current offer

    Each card shows the current welcome offer for the Netherlands. A short-term promotion does not move a bookmaker up the list.

Scores and updates

Our editors score each bookmaker on betting markets and odds coverage, usability, payments, licensing, country access and user feedback, and revisit a score when something material changes, such as a licence or a payment method. The full process is on our How we rank page.

How we are paid

Some bookmakers pay us when a reader signs up through our links. That never decides the order.

The law

Two points worth knowing

Esports

Outside the permitted markets

Licensed bookmakers may only take bets on sport in an official, organised framework, which the KSA says esports lacks.

Esports.net, Sep 2025
Cruks

Central self-exclusion

Cruks blocks registered players from licensed online betting, Holland Casino and slot arcades for at least six months.

Gaming Commission summary of Cruks

Glossary

Terms on this page

iDEAL
The Dutch online bank payment method. So what: listed for deposits only, at one bookmaker.
Cruks
The Dutch central self-exclusion register. So what: it covers KSA-licensed sites only, not the ones listed here.
Offshore licence
A licence from a body outside the Netherlands, such as Malta or Curacao. So what: disputes go to that body, not to the KSA.
The International
Dota 2's world championship. So what: the biggest Dota 2 betting event of the year.

Esports betting and the Netherlands: FAQ

Can I pay with iDEAL?

Only FatPirate lists iDEAL, and for deposits only. None of the 7 bookmakers we list for the Netherlands lists iDEAL for withdrawals.

How do I get paid out?

It depends on the site. Melbet and 31bet list cards and e-wallets for withdrawals, Fortunejack and ThunderPick pay out in crypto, and FatPirate, Betrebels and Funky Jackpot have no withdrawal methods on file.
