Modifications to the licensing framework in Curacao have been unveiled, impacting the regulations governing online gambling. The island's authorities have confirmed the updated cost of an operator's license, enabling businesses to strategically plan and make well-informed decisions about their jurisdiction of choice—Curacao, Isle of Man, or Malta.
Curacao is currently undergoing a transition from the existing National Dangerous Games Regulation to new legislation. Under the previous rules, operators were not required to specify their business type, whether B2B ("business to business") or B2C ("business to consumer"). However, the new regulations mandate such clarification during the license application process. Tax fees will vary based on the company's legal status, with the new casino requirements being higher than their predecessors.
Curacao, situated in the Caribbean Sea, is an island owned by the Netherlands.
