Curacao is a Caribbean jurisdiction known for one of the most widespread and accessible offshore gambling licences, under which a vast number of international online casinos have historically operated. The former model of master and sub-licences was criticised for weak oversight, so a reform was carried out: from 2024 a new direct regulator has been created — the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), which issues licences directly to operators and raises requirements on player protection, compliance and anti-money-laundering. There is virtually no land-based gambling tourism — the focus is on online operators serving foreign markets. Settlements are often made in various currencies, including cryptocurrencies. Players should understand that the level of protection under a Curacao licence is lower than that of strict regulators such as the UKGC or MGA, and check an operator's reputation.
Online play is not permitted in Curacao, so the atlas runs in reference mode here: we publish no links to gaming sites and do not encourage play. The current rules are broken down in the "Regulation" block at the top of the page.
Our atlas lists 0 online casinos relevant to this jurisdiction. The list is updated every quarter.
We weigh the licence and how well it's recognised in the jurisdiction, the brand's real availability to the country's players, payout speed, local payment methods and the operator's reputation.
