This is the direct licence of Curaçao’s new regulator, the Curaçao Gaming Authority. The LOK law, in force since 24 December 2024, abolished the master-licence system and handed issuance straight to the CGA; these licence numbers start with OGL. Since 1 January 2026 a licensee must have a physical presence on the island, and by April 2026 the CGA had processed roughly 140 direct applications and rejected about 38% of them — issuance is no longer a formality. Player protection here is still shallower than under the MGA and far shallower than under the UKGC: neither segregated funds nor a published enforcement history is guaranteed. There is also a plainer limitation — we could not reach a public register to check a number in, see below.
No public register could be found
The CGA does maintain a register of licensees, but its site sits behind an anti-bot check and we could not confirm a working search page — we will not publish a link we could not open. An OGL number has to be verified by writing to the CGA itself. For a regulator that presents itself as the replacement for the abolished master scheme this is a visible weakness: the operator claim cannot be checked in one click, which is the whole point of a register.
Do not mix these up
Not to be confused with the abolished master licence: a number ending in /JAZ instead of OGL means the operator has not moved to a direct CGA licence.
