Summary

Curaçao licenses online gambling under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), published as P.B. 2024, no. 157 and in force since 24 December 2024. It replaced the master licence and sub-licence system of the old offshore ordinance with direct licensing by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), an independent administrative body that has answered politically to the Minister of Justice since August 2025. Offering any game of chance in or from Curaçao without a CGA licence is prohibited, and one online licence covers casino games, sports betting and poker. Applicants must be a Curaçao NV or BV with a resident director. A B2C licence costs EUR 4,592 to apply for and EUR 47,450 a year in licence and supervisory fees; the LOK sets fixed fees rather than a tax on gaming revenue. Licensees must keep critical player data available on a Tier IV data centre in Curaçao, offer self-exclusion of at least a year, provide certified dispute resolution and report incidents within 24 hours. On 21 September 2026 the CGA register listed 665 licences granted since November 2023: 207 indefinite, 69 provisional, 279 under assessment, 60 expired and 50 revoked at the operator's request. A separate enforcement register lists 32 licences revoked or not extended by the CGA. Three dates matter next: supplier licences become mandatory on 24 December 2026, local substance rules apply from 1 April 2027 and remote onboarding tools must comply with new provisions by 1 May 2027. In September 2026 the CGA disclosed unauthorised access to its online gaming portal, and on 7 October said the portal would not return to service. Licensing continues and the application forms and policies moved to the CGA's main website on 12 and 14 October, but the interim filing arrangements the CGA targeted for 9 October had not been published by 16 October.

Common pitfalls

Treating an Orange Seal or an old master licence number as valid: the transition ended on 15 October 2025 and only the Green Seal, which links to cert.cga.cw, shows a live licence. Assuming a Curaçao licence permits marketing into another country: licensees must follow the law of each market they serve. Running a Curaçao company under a foreign licence, which the CGA treats as unlawful. Relying on the CGA to settle a player dispute: it does not handle individual complaints, which go to the operator and its approved ADR provider.

Compliance

Minimum age
18+
National self-exclusion
Not yet verified
KYC timing
Minimum identification at account opening; full verification when cumulative deposits and withdrawals reach NAf 4,000, and before the first withdrawal.
AML regime
NOIS and NORUT, as amended by P.B. 2024, no. 41 and the LOK, with the CGA AML/CFT/CPF regulations of January 2025. Registration in the goAML reporting system is a licensing condition, and unusual transactions go to FIU Curaçao. Remote onboarding must follow the provisions in force from 21 August 2026.
AML supervisor
Curaçao Gaming Authority (AML/CFT supervisor for all gaming in and from Curaçao since 15 February 2019)
Deposit limits
Operators must let players set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits; tighter limits apply at once and looser ones after 24 hours (RG policy 10.1).
Loss limits
Optional, to be considered according to the operator's risk profile (RG policy 13.3).
Session limits
Player-set cooling-off periods must be offered. Operator-level self-exclusion of at least 12 months, irrevocable for its term, is required by LOK art. 5.4(2); the RG policy requires options of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years and lifetime. Reality checks and time limits are risk-based options.
Affordability checks
No statutory affordability thresholds. Operators must run behaviour tracking with procedures to identify and contact at-risk players, and may apply mandatory limits (RG policy section 8).
Source of funds thresholds
Full customer due diligence, including a customer risk assessment, is required once cumulative deposits and withdrawals reach NAf 4,000; without the documents within 30 days the relationship must end. Transactions of NAf 5,000 or more, per gaming day, are unusual transactions to be reported.
Central monitoring system
The LOK lets the CGA collect reports through a central control database it manages (art. 5.10(2)); reports were filed through the CGA portal until the CGA withdrew it on 7 October 2026, and interim filing arrangements had not been published by 16 October 2026.
Data localisation
Critical information on players, game transactions and financial transactions must be kept available to the CGA on a server in a Tier IV certified data centre in Curaçao (LOK art. 5.9(1)(j); licence conditions art. 13).
KYC requirements
At registration the player self-attests to being over 18 and the operator runs further checks; minimum identity details, PEP and sanctions screening are due at account opening. A government-issued ID check is required on reaching specified thresholds and in any case before the first withdrawal (RG policy 5.1; AML regulations).
Stake limits
Not yet verified
Mandatory player messaging
Websites must carry a responsible gaming section in English and the target market's language, treatment referral information, a visible under-age prohibition in the footer and the CGA seal; all advertising must carry a responsible gaming message.
Reporting obligations
Change reports twice a year by 15 January and 15 June; incident reports within 24 hours; player transaction, complaints and ADR reports; annual accounts by 30 June; independent expert reports on AML and on system design and responsible gambling on request (LOK arts. 5.10 and 5.11; licence conditions art. 13).
Game content restrictions
Licensees may not offer games based on real disasters or crises, exploitation or abuse of people or animals, or content that is indecent or offensive under the Criminal Code, and may not offer or broker credit to players (LOK art. 1.4).

Advertising

Advertising permitted
Yes
Affiliate rules
Affiliates are not licensed by the CGA. The operator answers for the materials it supplies to affiliates and must make contracted third parties follow its responsible gaming policy (RG policy 12).
Celebrity and influencer rules
The operator is responsible for materials given to affiliates, representatives, sponsorships, ambassadors and social media influencers where their statements are paid placements or advertising (RG policy 12).
Social media rules
The CGA definition of marketing covers digital marketing and social media campaigns, so the same rules apply.
Bonus advertising rules
Bonuses must be communicated with clear terms and must not be used to encourage excessive gambling; no bonuses or incentives during cooling-off or to deter self-exclusion (RG policy 9 and 12).
Mandatory warnings
All advertising must include a clearly visible responsible gaming message or slogan (RG policy 12); no wording is prescribed.
Penalties for breach
Breach of art. 5.6(1) can lead to an order subject to a penalty or an administrative fine (LOK arts. 13.6 and 13.32); compliance with advertising and responsible gaming rules is one of the CGA's four enforcement priorities.

Restrictions

  • Marketing and advertising, including bonuses, must not encourage excessive gambling, must not mislead and must not target vulnerable persons (LOK art. 5.6).
  • No portrayal of gambling as an investment, a route to financial success or a substitute for well-being.
  • No suggestion that skill affects games of pure chance, no minors in marketing and no explicit sexual content.
  • No link between gambling and smoking, drugs, alcohol, seduction or attractiveness.
  • No marketing to players in a cooling-off period and no direct marketing to self-excluded players.
  • A CGA licence does not authorise marketing into other markets: licensees must comply with the law of each jurisdiction where they offer games.

Payments

Credit card ban
Not yet verified
Crypto stance
Permitted
Currency restrictions
All player payments go through the player account and player funds must sit in a segregated account. Fiat currencies accepted must trade on regulated international markets and virtual currencies on internationally licensed exchanges; licensees may not exchange currencies or convert crypto to fiat in the account, and winnings are paid in the currency staked (licence conditions art. 9). The CGA crypto guideline prefers fiat-backed regulated stablecoins and bars assets linked to sanctioned mixers or wallets.

Administrative penalties
Instructions, orders subject to a penalty, administrative coercion, administrative fines up to the sixth fine category of the Criminal Code (art. 13.37), suspension for up to three months (extendable by three) and revocation (arts. 2.3 and 2.4).
Criminal penalties
Breach of arts. 1.2 to 1.5 and related provisions: detention of up to one year and a fifth category fine; intentional breach: imprisonment of up to four years and a sixth category fine (art. 13.40).
Operator liability
Offering games of chance in or from Curaçao without a CGA licence is prohibited (art. 1.2(1)). The CGA treats Curaçao-registered companies operating under foreign B2C licences as unlawful and in July 2025 announced it would send them formal cease and desist letters. The CGA may revoke a licence where a final decision abroad shows the licensee broke another country's gambling law (art. 2.4(1)(j)).
Player liability
Playing is not an offence as such. It is an offence for a player to bet knowing the outcome, to play with an operator where he is a key person, or to sell or pledge a claim against a licensee (arts. 1.3 and 13.40).

Frequently asked questions

Who regulates online gambling in Curaçao?
The Curaçao Gaming Authority, an independent administrative body under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), in force since 24 December 2024. Political responsibility for the CGA moved from the Minister of Finance to the Minister of Justice on 19 August 2025.
What does a Curaçao online gaming licence cost?
A B2C application costs EUR 4,592 plus EUR 150 per UBO and per qualified interest holder. The annual fee is EUR 47,450: EUR 24,490 to the National Treasury and EUR 22,960 to the CGA. A B2B supplier licence costs EUR 24,490 a year. The LOK sets fixed fees rather than a tax on gaming revenue.
Does a Curaçao licence allow an operator to offer games in other countries?
No. The licence conditions require compliance with the law of every jurisdiction where games are offered, and operators must tell players where participation is restricted or prohibited.
What local substance is required and when?
A Curaçao NV or BV with a resident director from the start. From 1 April 2027, after a ministerial postponement, licensees must also employ at least one key person registered in Curaçao full time besides the director (three from the fifth year after the LOK took effect) and have dedicated office premises, unless a small new entrant exemption applies.
How can I check whether an operator is licensed?
Check the licence register on cga.cw, updated regularly, and the enforcement register of revoked licences. A genuine CGA seal links to a certificate on cert.cga.cw. The CGA publishes warnings about sites that use fake seals or borrowed licence numbers.
Is online gambling legal in Curacao?
Online casino and online sports betting are both legal for licensed operators in Curacao. The status of every vertical is at the top of this page. Last verified 16 Oct 2026.

Two statutory phases (integrity and finances, then the remaining requirements), each decided within eight weeks of a complete file and extendable by four weeks (art. 5.1). Last verified 16 Oct 2026.
