The CGA has faced criticism on social media regarding the new online gambling rules. The CGA has addressed these concerns, stating that many negative comments are either inaccurate or taken out of context. They emphasised that the transition to the new system is occurring gradually, with some rules already in effect, such as enhanced checks to prevent financial crime, improved player protection, and clearer complaint procedures.
The CGA has also indicated that stricter controls over operators will be implemented soon and has expressed openness to discussions with stakeholders to clarify the changes and address any misunderstandings.
This proactive communication aims to foster transparency and build trust within the industry and among the public.
Curaçao’s implementation of the National Ordinance on Games of Chance represents a significant step towards modernizing its online gaming regulatory landscape. The establishment of the Curaçao Gaming Authority and the introduction of stringent licensing requirements, AML/KYC standards, and responsible gaming policies aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and player protection within the industry.
While the transition presents challenges, including resource constraints and potential barriers to entry, the long-term benefits of a well-regulated market are evident. By aligning with international best practices, Curaçao seeks to position itself as a reputable jurisdiction for online gaming operations.
