Sixienne Jansen, legal advisor to Curaçao’s Ministry of Finance, [on Wednesday] outlined how the jurisdiction’s licences will work from 1 September. Jansen outlined how the island would be handling licences at iGB L!VE, as the National Ordinance for Games of Chance (LOK) approaches implementation.
The LOK is the planned legislation that will reform the country’s licensing regime for foreign operators.
In 2020, the Netherlands government requested that Curaçao reform its gambling regulations as a condition of financial relief in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This largely involved a shake-up of the Curaçao gambling licence, which in recent years gained a reputation as one of the more permissive licensing jurisdictions in the world.
