Starting from September 1st this year, online gambling operators in Curaçao will be assessed according to stricter, internationally recognized standards. This was announced by Minister of Finance, Javier Silvania, during the iGaming NEXT Valletta 23 conference.
The new legislation, known as the National Gambling Ordinance (LOK), is currently under review by the Advisory Council and will then proceed to the parliament. Its implementation is expected to result in stricter rules in the gambling industry, particularly in the areas of anti-money laundering measures, fraud prevention, and player protection.
“We demand transparency regarding the source of funds entering our country,” said Silvania during the conference.
