Gambling Licenses

🇨🇼 Curaçao Licence

Curaçao is one of the longest-running and most cost-effective online-gaming jurisdictions. Under the new National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), licences are now issued directly by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), and a single licence covers casino, sportsbook, poker and other verticals.

How the setup works

  1. Incorporate a Curaçao company and arrange the required local presence.
  2. Prepare AML/KYC, responsible-gaming and technical policies, plus platform and game documentation.
  3. File the application with the CGA, including corporate, personal and technical documents.
  4. Pass due diligence on UBOs, directors and source of funds.
  5. Receive the licence, then meet ongoing reporting, compliance and annual renewal obligations.

Timeline

Around 6–12 weeks from a complete application, depending on due diligence and how ready your documents are.
