Online gambling has been legal in Curaçao since 1993, with the introduction of the National Ordinance on Offshore Games of Hazard legislation, and the first license was issued by Curaçao eGaming in 1996. As such, Curaçao eGaming is one of the oldest regulators of its kind.

End of an era

As of October 1st 2024, the licensing authority Curaçao eGaming (Cyberluck Curaçao N.V.) has ceased all licensing operations. This is as a result of the recent changes and restructuring within the Curaçao jurisdiction.

Consequently, no Curaçao eGaming (1668/JAZ) licenses will be extended and are all to be considered expired from the date mentioned. Any casinos that operated under this license should have either applied for the new Curaçao license directly from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board, or obtained a license from an alternate authority.

New services

While Curaçao eGaming no longer offers licenses to online gaming operators, the former regulator now offers Accreditation Services. These services include assistance with GCB license applications, business structuring, and forms and documentation updates. Operators that become accredited can display a new Accreditation Seal demonstrating their dedication to compliance and best practices.

Disputes and Responsible Gambling

Players can submit complaints via a link in the the accreditation validator, with CEG acting as a free Alternate Dispute Resolution service for players at those casinos with the endorsement. It is also possible to request Self-Exclusion via a form in the validator, but the exclusion will only apply to that specific website.
