Dutch Court Orders Unibet to Hand Over Betting History to Player

A district court in Amsterdam has ruled that Trannel International Limited — the company previously operating Unibet in the Netherlands — must provide a player with archived records of their betting activity.

According to Casino Nieuws, the court decision includes a financial penalty of up to €10,000 if Trannel fails to comply.

The player initially requested access to their betting data in April of last year, but Unibet declined, citing EU and Maltese legal frameworks (Trannel’s parent company, Kindred Group, is licensed in Malta).

Unibet argued that the law allows operators to reject data requests when there is suspicion that the information may be used to pursue legal action.

The company also stated it might reconsider its refusal if the requester agreed not to sue — a condition the player did not accept.

Dutch courts have recently seen a rise in claims from players seeking compensation for losses incurred on Unibet and other platforms that were active before the Netherlands launched its regulated market.

The player’s attorney, Pepijn Le Heux, criticized the company’s stance:

“It’s shocking that Unibet applies the law selectively based on a person’s intent. In other words, if you promise not to sue, you can access your data. That’s not data protection, that’s blackmail.”

The ruling could set a broader precedent, as another case involving a group of 23 players seeking access to their betting data from Unibet is also pending. A verdict in that case is expected on July 7.
