Marcel Lüske, 'The Flying Dutchman', is the godfather of Dutch poker: an Amsterdam professional famous for his suits, his upside-down sunglasses and for singing at the table long before poker was on television. He finished tenth in the 2004 WSOP Main Event for $373,000 and 23rd in 2017, won back-to-back events at the Five-Star World Poker Classic at the Bellagio in 2005 and 2006, was runner-up in the partypoker MILLIONS Germany High Roller in 2018 and was named European Player of the Year in the early 2000s. He has more than $5.3 million in live earnings, seventh on the Dutch all-time list, and mentored a generation of Amsterdam players.

Players like Marcel started somewhere. These are the partner rooms that accept players from Netherlands.

None of our partner operators currently accepts players from Netherlands. We do not list any online poker room here. The Netherlands licenses online poker through the Kansspelautoriteit under the Remote Gambling Act, and only licensed operators may serve Dutch residents. GGPoker names the Netherlands as a Restricted Jurisdiction in its own terms, so we no longer list it here. The minimum age is 18 (24 for some products). This is general information, not legal advice.
