Curaçao remains one of the most talked-about licensing hubs, largely due to the ongoing reform of its regulatory framework. After decades of operating under master-license structures, the jurisdiction has been transitioning to a more centralized, standardized licensing process. This shift aims to increase credibility, strengthen AML requirements, and align with global regulatory expectations, while keeping Curaçao relatively attractive to new operators.
Current Licensing Situation
The new Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) has continued rolling out updates, including stricter KYC/AML procedures, clearer corporate structure requirements, and enhanced technical standards for gambling platforms.
Despite tighter rules, Curaçao remains one of the fastest and most cost-efficient offshore licensing routes. Approval times are significantly shorter than in Europe, and the jurisdiction is still open to startups and emerging operators.
Who Curaçao Is Good For?
- New iGaming brands entering the market at a lower cost
- Casino, sportsbook, and hybrid gaming projects
- Crypto-friendly gaming operators
- White-label and turnkey platform providers
- Businesses seeking fast market entry with moderate compliance requirements
