What Curacao National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK / Landsverordening op de kansspelen) - Direct Licensing Regime, Operator Obligations and AML Requirements requires
The National Ordinance on Games of Chance (Landsverordening op de kansspelen, LOK) was approved by the Curacao Parliament on 17 December 2024 and entered into force on 24 December 2024, replacing the old National Ordinance on Offshore Games of Hazard (NOOGH) master/sub-license regime. Under the LOK a single government regulator, the Curacao Gaming Authority (CGA), is the sole issuer of and supervisor over online gaming licences; it is prohibited to offer online gaming in or from Curacao without a CGA licence, and that prohibition extends to entities controlling player databases or player transactions. Operators must meet AML/CFT, economic-substance and compliance requirements. NOOGH-era licences remained valid until 24 June 2025 with a possible 6-month extension. There is no 'Curacao Gaming Control Board National Ordinance 2023'; this node is anchored to the LOK as enacted.
