ANNOUNCEMENT RE: EXTENSION OF PROVISIONAL LICENSES ISSUED ON 24TH DECEMBER 2024

The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) hereby announces that the six-month provisional license granted by operation of law to operators holding a valid license at the time the National Ordinance for Games of Chance (LOK) came into effect on December 24, 2024, will expire on June 24, 2025.

The CGA has already contacted those operators whose provisional license will not be extended. Therefore, if you have not received such communication, you may consider your provisional license extended for an additional six months, until 24th December 2025, under the same conditions.

Each operator will receive the CGA license for the extended period on or before Friday 27th June 2025.

This announcement applies to both Green Seal B2C entities and also to B2B license holders.

The CGA expects all operators to be fully compliant with the LOK by the end of this second six-month provisional period in order to be eligible for a full license. This includes timely completion of all items set out in the CGA Portal checklists, as well as adherence to additional policies issued by the CGA in line with LOK requirements.

The operators licensed by the CGA after December 24, 2024 should be compliant or show significant progress in relation to their issued checklists including additional requirements under LOK during the first six-month period from the date of issuance of their provisional license. An extension of up to a maximum of six months or the issuance of a full license will depend on the level of progress demonstrated by the operator.
