Curaçao's current gambling regime is considered to be one of the most liberal in the world: low costs, minimal requirements for opening a casino, and loyal supervision. No wonder that about 450 companies around the world have chosen this license to work with, and this number is growing regularly.
The Curacao Gaming Control Board (Curaçao Gaming Control Board) announced that it is planned to create a new independent regulator – Curacao Gaming Authority, – which will replace the existing regulatory body. Also, instead of sublicenses, the authority will issue independent B2C and B2B licenses to new gambling operators, and those companies that were already licensed under the previous regime will be able to register in the new format. This can be done during a transitional period that will last 18 months.
Already since 2021, the government of Curacao has been in the process of modernizing its gambling legislation in order to bring it in line with international standards and adopting a responsible gambling policy covering all types of gambling activities that are licensed and will be licensed in this jurisdiction in the future.
Therefore, one of the government's priorities is to protect the ongoing business carried out by these parties, to the extent that they operate legally. At the same time, the government must be sure that the advantage provided will not be misused. It is for this reason that registration through the online portal will be introduced. The new system will include stricter requirements for license holders, including – the need to maintain a higher authorized capital, etc.
“Based on the statements of the government of Curacao, we will receive new legislation for online gambling. But operators need not worry, because, according to representatives of the ministry, there will be a transitional period, – notes Petr Stehlik, Slotegrator's lawyer.
