Curacao is the world's most widely used iGaming licensing jurisdiction, powering thousands of online casino and sportsbook brands across global markets. A Curacao eGaming license offers fast issuance, broad geographic reach, low operational costs, and flexibility for crypto-native casino models — making it the most common starting point for new iGaming operators and the most frequently traded license type in M&A transactions.
Curacao listings on CasinosBroker range from early-stage white label brands to established multi-brand operators generating consistent NGR. Following the 2023 regulatory reform under the National Ordinance on Offshore Games of Hazard (NOOGH), all Curacao licenses are now issued directly by the Curacao Gaming Control Board (GCB). Our team verifies compliance with the new framework before listing.
Since the 2023 regulatory overhaul, Curacao licenses must be held directly with the Gaming Control Board. Buyers of Curacao-licensed businesses must apply for a new license in their own name rather than assuming an existing sublicense — a process that now takes 3–6 months. Our team advises on the transition timeline and operational continuity planning during the transfer period.
A Curacao license does not provide access to locally regulated markets such as the UK, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, or Spain, which require separate national licenses. It is best suited for global market coverage excluding these jurisdictions, and remains widely accepted across LATAM, APAC, and African markets.
Curacao-licensed assets typically sell at lower multiples than MGA or UKGC equivalents — usually 1.5x–3x annual NGR — reflecting the lower regulatory barrier to entry and broader market restrictions. Crypto-native Curacao casinos with strong player databases can command higher multiples.
