Curaçao gambling licence register: read CGA status and term fields

The Curaçao Gaming Authority publishes a PDF with one row per licence number. Each row also carries a legal-entity name, B2C or B2B type, company-registration number, issue date, expiry date or term, and sometimes a status. The 14 September 2026 file has 663 rows, but the physical row count does not answer how many consumer gambling sites currently hold a definitive permission.

Atlas counted 281 rows marked assessment in progress, 207 indefinite, 60 expired, 50 revoked and 65 without a recognised status label. The CGA register page warns that its overviews do not guarantee the current validity of a licence and that a status can vary during the licence period. A decision therefore needs the exact row, its displayed state and dates, and a fresh domain-side check where a website is involved.

Atlas compared the 663-row PDF dated 14 September with the 664-row version dated 10 September by exact licence number. The later file removes Novatech Solutions B.V. B2B licence OGL/2024/1790/1174. Its separate B2C licence OGL/2024/1790/1062 remains in the register but moves from assessment in progress to expired.

That produces the entire headline delta: assessment rows fall from 283 to 281, expired rows rise from 59 to 60, and the total falls by one. Indefinite, revoked and unlabelled counts remain at 207, 50 and 65. This is a register-snapshot comparison, not evidence about why the B2B row was removed or what happened outside the fields published by the CGA.

The current PDF contains 569 B2C rows and 94 B2B rows. The CGA portal separates online-gaming operators, which offer remote gambling, from suppliers of critical gambling services and goods such as games or sportsbook software. A B2B register row should not be converted into a playable casino, sportsbook or consumer-domain count.

The opposite shortcut is also unsafe. A B2C row names a licence-side entity and type, but the PDF does not publish the websites or every product offered. Entity, brand, domain, product, licence, Curaçao jurisdiction and check date remain separate fields until an official record joins them.

Article 2 of the CGA's indefinite-term online-gaming licence conditions says the licence is granted for an indefinite period while remaining subject to possible suspension or withdrawal and to later changes in law, policy and regulatory instructions. The register's Indefinite label should therefore be read as a term field, not a promise that the licence cannot change.

The same conditions limit the licence to domains and subdomains owned or controlled by the licensee, listed in its portal account and approved by the CGA. They took effect on 17 December 2025. The conditions also state that the Dutch text prevails if it differs from the English version, an important limit for a legal or contractual reading.

Sixty-five rows have no status text that Atlas can classify as assessment, indefinite, expired or revoked. Reading their dates separately shows that 60 displayed terms include 14 September 2026. The other five do not: three expiry dates have passed, while two rows display an expiry date earlier than their issue date.

Atlas reports the 60 as rows within coherent displayed terms, not as 60 verified operators or definitive licences. Date coherence is a reproducible quality check, but it cannot fill a missing regulator status. For higher-stakes use, retain the row and ask the CGA to confirm what the blank field means.

The register PDF has no domain column. The CGA portal says its green dynamic seals are linked to authorised domains approved under the LOK and that each seal corresponds to the operator's Certificate of Operation. A valid certificate opened from the exact hostname is therefore stronger domain evidence than a logo, footer claim or similar company name.

The same portal says the former orange sub-licence seal and certificate are no longer valid. Registration in the portal or a licence application is also not a formal licence grant. Record the exact hostname, follow the certificate link, compare the named entity and licence number with the current PDF, and preserve the check date.

The 14 September PDF contains no exact XBet, Goldbet, Betano or Kaizen string. ApexBet Gaming N.V. is a different displayed name and is not treated as an XBet match. Atlas therefore keeps the three Curaçao relationships for XBet, Goldbet and Betano as not listed in this specific register snapshot.

Not listed is not a global claim of illegality and does not describe a brand's licences in another jurisdiction. It also does not prove that every possible company or domain associated with a brand was searched under a different name. The conclusion is limited to the exact strings, the CGA PDF and the 15 September check.

Use the register and certificate as two evidence layers. Preserve screenshots or source files for a commercial, compliance or player-protection decision because both the PDF and a certificate can change after the check.

Atlas downloaded the CGA PDF linked from the official register page on 15 September 2026. The 14 September file has SHA-256 c339e29cbffa8c912ad6d17abf91c77d4856f6c9b41d6ea3838ce0d985fcb5bf. Atlas parsed all numbered rows, retained the licence number and B2C or B2B type, normalised the four explicit status strings, and treated every other status cell as unlabelled. Displayed issue and expiry dates were then tested against 14 September without changing the source status.

The comparison uses the 10 September PDF with SHA-256 98256828b78c3d8b885820c44aa5c0442d3f1ce1288aa5673923c1ea21ffa9d5. It does not deduplicate legal entities, enumerate brands or domains, test accounts, deposits, withdrawals or geolocation, or provide legal advice. Atlas will recheck by 15 October 2026 and sooner if the CGA replaces the PDF, changes the licence conditions or alters its certificate system. Current official records control if they differ from this snapshot.
