Curaçao's Licence Register as Open Data: 666 Licences, and Every 'Assessment in Progress' Row Past Its Printed Expiry

Curaçao publishes who holds an online gaming licence as a PDF. We parse every row of it — 666 licences in the edition dated 12 October 2026 — and republish it as open data: JSON and CSV, one row per licence, every field exactly as printed. We first did this with the edition of 21 September 2026; because we keep both, this page can also show what changed between two editions three weeks apart.

Tabulated, the register says something the PDF does not make obvious: the largest single group of licences, 289 of them, shows “Assessment in progress”, and every one of those is past the expiry date printed in its own row. Comparing the two editions shows how licences get there.

This page sets out what the register contains, what the counts are, and what they do and do not mean for someone deciding whether a Curaçao-licensed casino is licensed. We review crypto casinos, several of them Curaçao licensees, and some of them are commercial partners; none of that changes a count, and the parser that produced them is described at the end.

The register in one table

From the Online Gaming License Registry, “Licenses Granted under the New Online Gaming Policy (Effective November 15, 2023)”, last updated 12 October 2026:

Status as printed	Licences	Share	What the row shows
Assessment in progress	289	43.4%	A six-month term with issue and expiry dates; all 289 expiry dates have passed
Indefinite	209	31.4%	No expiry (N/A); 163 issued on 24 December 2025
Expired	58	8.7%	Expiry dates from 24 December 2025 to 17 June 2026; 56 are B2C
(no status printed), expiry in the future	57	8.6%	Six-month terms issued 14 April–10 October 2026; all 40 CGA-numbered licences are here
Revoked	50	7.5%	Every one “at the request of the operator”
(no status printed), expiry already passed	3	0.5%	Pegasus 19 B.V., 978 Tech N.V., Meta Bliss Group B.V. — expiries 20 August–2 September 2026, unchanged since September
Total	666		571 B2C, 95 B2B

Two numbering series coexist. 626 licences carry OGL numbers (OGL/2023/… and OGL/2024/…), the wave issued under the transitional online gaming policy from November 2023. 40 carry CGA numbers (CGA/2025/…), first issued from 31 March 2026 onward. Every row that prints both an issue and an expiry date — 407 of them — is a six-month term. (In September one row printed its expiry six months before its issue date; the October edition corrected it.)

Finding 1: “Assessment in progress” is the register’s largest class, and all of it runs past expiry

When a six-month term ends, a licence does not necessarily move to “Expired”. For 289 licences the status reads “Assessment in progress”, and in every one of them the printed expiry has already passed:

Days past the printed expiry (as of 12 October 2026)	Licences
Under 90	90
90–179	103
180 or more	96
Median	130 days
Longest	323 days

In September the median was 109 days and five of the 281 rows still had their expiry ahead; three weeks later none do, and the 180-days-plus group has grown from 60 to 96. Issue dates run from May 2025 to April 2026, with the largest batches issued in January 2026 (44), October 2025 (41) and February 2026 (40). 254 are B2C operators, 35 B2B suppliers.

The register does not define the label. What the rows show is consistent with licensees from the OGL wave being assessed for a full licence under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), in force since 24 December 2024, and remaining listed while that happens — a licence under assessment is not a revoked one, because revocations are written out explicitly. But 43% of the register is in a state the regulator has not explained in the document itself, and the dates printed next to the label say something other than the label does. That is the gap a player falls into when a review site writes “licensed in Curaçao” without saying which kind.

Two operators we review are in this class: Stake’s Medium Rare N.V. (OGL/2024/1451/0918, printed expiry 9 June 2026) and Cloudbet’s Halcyon Super Holdings B.V. (OGL/2024/328/0599, printed expiry 23 May 2026). Both remain listed in the 12 October edition, neither is in the enforcement register, and both have been in this state at every reading we have made since August — see the licence tracker.

Finding 2: what three weeks of the register show (21 September → 12 October 2026)

Matching the two editions licence number by licence number — no licence disappeared, one was added — 24 rows changed:

Change	Licences	Who
Six-month term ended; no status → “Assessment in progress”	8	All OGL-numbered, terms ending 2–9 October 2026: Centrum Global B.V., Green Stream Technology B.V., Play Smart ENT B.V., Gaminara N.V., Gleneagles B.V., Forward Solutions B.V. (B2C); Mitratech Curaçao B.V., Big Wonderland N.V. (B2B)
Six-month term ended; rolled into a new six-month term (issue date reset to the old expiry)	13	12 CGA-numbered, from Softrios N.V. and ApexBet Gaming N.V. (now to 10 April 2027) to Trinity Gaming N.V. and Venari B.V. (now to 31 March 2027); one OGL, Pitta Plus B.V.
”Expired” → “Indefinite”, reissued 21 September 2026	2	Novisoft N.V., Deep Dive Tech B.V. (the latter printed “Indefinte”)
Date error corrected	1	Aquarius Entertainment N.V.: expiry now 17 March 2027, six months after its issue date
New licence	1	88 Entertainment B.V. (B2B, CGA/2025/1512/1248, issued 24 September 2026)

This is the clearest view yet of how the register works. A CGA-numbered licence that reaches the end of its term gets a fresh six-month term. An OGL-numbered one usually gets “Assessment in progress” and keeps its old, now-past expiry date. Not one licence moved to “Expired” in these three weeks, and none was revoked. It also shows that “Expired” is not final: two licences listed as expired in September are “Indefinite” in October.

Finding 3: two-thirds of the “Indefinite” licences were issued on one day

209 licences show “Indefinite” — no expiry recorded, the strongest status in the document. 163 of them were issued on 24 December 2025, one year to the day after the LOK entered into force. The rest arrived in smaller batches through 2026: nine on 7 March, five on 9 May, four on 23 May, and the two reissued on 21 September. 180 are B2C and 29 B2B.

This is the class we treat as the strongest evidence of a live licence. In our roster it includes Shuffle (Natural Nine B.V., OGL/2024/1337/0628), BitStarz (Gareton B.V., OGL/2024/165/0185, and its former entity Dama N.V.) and Roobet (Raw Entertainment B.V., OGL/2024/687/0427) — all issued 24 December 2025.

Finding 4: the licence register records no revocation by the regulator

All 50 revocations in the licence register carry the same wording: “Revoked as of [date], at the request of the operator” (one row misspells it “Reoked”). 31 are dated 2026, 18 2025 and one 2024.

The revocations the CGA imposed itself are in a different document. Its Enforcement Register, last updated 14 September 2026 and unchanged at our 14 October reading, lists 32 entries: 31 “Revoked” and one “Not extended by the CGA” (Bellona N.V., 25 June 2025). Ten of the 31 revocations are dated 25 November 2025, the largest single action in the document. The enforcement register describes its own scope narrowly — it covers actions that affect a licence’s status, not every enforcement measure, and says no rights can be derived from its contents.

The practical consequence: reading only the licence register, you would never see a regulator-imposed revocation. The 31 CGA revocations do not appear there as “Revoked by the CGA”; to see them you must open the second PDF. One licensee appears in both with different accounts. Rozairo N.V. (OGL/2024/157/0993) is listed in the enforcement register as revoked on 25 November 2025, and in the licence register as “Revoked as of December 08, 2025, at the request of the operator”.

What this means if you are checking a casino

1. “Licensed in Curaçao” is three different states. Indefinite, assessment in progress past expiry, and a dated six-month term are not the same thing, and a seal in the footer does not tell you which one a casino is in.
2. Search for the company, not the brand. The register lists legal entities. Searching for “Stake” finds nothing; searching for “Medium Rare N.V.” finds the row. The company name is in the casino’s footer or terms.
3. Check both documents. The licence register for the row and its status; the enforcement register for anything the CGA did to it.
4. Check the date of the edition. Statuses move between editions — in three weeks, 24 rows changed. A screenshot of the register from last month is not today’s register.
5. Match the company to where the money comes from. A clone can copy a seal image and even a real licence number; it cannot make the register list its own company, and it cannot make your withdrawal arrive from the licensee. Cloudbet, for example, tells its players to expect “Halcyon Super Holdings B.V.” as the sender on crypto withdrawals — the same company the register lists.
6. Curaçao’s protections are real but limited. Since the LOK, licensees must segregate player funds and use a certified dispute-resolution provider — the CGA’s list of article 5.17 certificate holders (31 August 2026) names seven certified ADR providers — the newest, from 27 August 2026, is IBAS — and five certified test labs. The CGA itself does not adjudicate complaints. How that compares with Malta and the UK is in casino licensing explained, and how to catch a fake in how to spot a fake casino.

The dataset

• curacao-cga-register.json — every row, plus the enforcement register’s 32 entries and the summary counts on this page.
• curacao-cga-register.csv — the same rows for a spreadsheet (666 in the 12 October 2026 edition).

Each row keeps the fields as printed: row number, licence number, licensee, B2C or B2B, Chamber of Commerce registration number, issue date, expiry date (null where the PDF prints N/A, or prints no expiry column, as on revoked rows) and the status text. We add two fields: the numbering series (OGL or CGA) and a normalised status class, which is where the counts above come from. No row is added, dropped or edited.

How it is produced. A script downloads the registry PDF linked from the CGA’s license-registers page, extracts the text, and splits it on row numbers. It refuses to publish unless every row number from 1 to the last is present exactly once and every row yields a licence number, a licensee, a company type and an issue date — so a change in the PDF’s layout fails loudly instead of publishing half a register. That check has fired twice: the first run failed on the 50 revoked rows, which print no expiry column, and the 12 October edition arrived under a new file name with dates in a short format (“23-Nov-25”). Both times the parser was corrected to read the rows, not to skip them. It runs on the same 45-day cycle as our licence tracker, and every edition carries its register date.

Counts are as of the registry PDF last updated 12 October 2026 and the enforcement register last updated 14 September 2026, both read 14 October 2026; the comparison is with the registry PDF of 21 September 2026, read 23 September 2026.
