About GameHaven NL

The Netherlands' premier gaming destination since 2015

Our Story

GameHaven NL was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate gamers who wanted to create a community space where Dutch gaming enthusiasts could come together, compete, and enjoy high-quality gaming experiences without having to invest in expensive hardware themselves.

What started as a small venue with just 10 gaming stations has now grown into the Netherlands' largest and most advanced gaming center, with multiple locations across the country. Our flagship location in Castelre features over 50 premium gaming stations, VR zones, tournament areas, and a café serving gamer-friendly refreshments.

Over the years, we've hosted hundreds of tournaments, welcomed thousands of gamers through our doors, and built a reputation for providing the ultimate gaming experience with cutting-edge technology and a welcoming community atmosphere.
