Why we offer this service
- The world experts of the financial industry agree that the IGaming sector is a very large and developing industry. Statistical reports, which are published every year, show a steady growth of revenues, demonstrating an upward profit level of the online sphere, regardless of external factors: economic crises or pandemics. That is why, with the increased demand for online entertainment from customers: betting on different types of sports games, lotteries, full-fledged online casinos, and other types of gaming sector become a reliable and competent investment.
- In addition, the advantages of this jurisdiction are the absence of VAT and tax rates, and the presence of low corporate income tax. Curacao has established itself as a stable financial transactions industry with a progressive legislative system. Accordingly, the jurisdiction of Curacao allows you to quickly and with minimal investment start a gambling business and allow the company to grow to obtain an EU license in the future.
Our clients come to us with different projects and ask us to set up a gambling business with the lowest costs and the softest regulation.
Compared to other jurisdictions, where regulation is also relatively lenient and getting a license is quite easy, Curacao does not require a big investment from the company.
Let’s look at the difference between getting a license in different jurisdictions using two examples:
- To get a license in Cyprus, you have to contribute 100,000 euros of share capital. Curacao does not require a share capital contribution.
- To get the Maltese licenses you have to pay for each of the service categories: sports betting and RNG games 25,000€ each, poker will cost another 25,000€, fantasy sports 10,000€. In the end, it would cost 85,000€ just for the 4 licenses. The Curacao license, with one license, allows you to work within all the available types of Internet gaming.

A company with a gambling license in Curacao has a lot of advantages compared to similar licenses in the EU and offers more freedom in the services offered to the client.
There are two types of licenses in Curacao: a basic license and a sub-license. For the first license, only the Minister of Justice can personally decide on the issuance, based on his authority. In turn, holders of basic licenses (currently, there are 4) have the right to issue an unlimited number of sub-licenses at their discretion.
That is, the Curacao license is not issued directly from the regulator, but is a sub-license from the holder of the main gambling license, where each of the 4 holders of the main license regulates their sub-licenses differently. This model provides more flexibility for the client in their choice of license and makes the overall regulation much looser.
