Curaçao is working on an adjusted schedule for its overhaul to igaming licensing, due to stakeholder input received on the law, the Dutch government has revealed.
When Curaçao received aid from the Dutch government in 2020 because of the impact of Covid-19, the Netherlands asked for updates on certain reforms on the island in return.
These updates include details on reforms of online gambling regulation in Curaçao. Under the current system in Curaçao, licensing is handled by four private businesses, which each hold “master licences” granted by the government.
The existing regime was widely considered to be among the most liberal systems in existence, with low barriers to entry and little scrutiny for operators.
