Curaçao regulator has permanently shut down the licensing portal for iGaming operators

🔹The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) announced that it will not restore the online portal. The regulator plans to move to a new system, but has not yet presented how it will operate.

🔹Licenses and oversight of operators will continue to be maintained through temporary mechanisms. Existing licenses remain valid, and operators are still required to comply with the regulator’s requirements.

🔹The portal shutdown will also affect the CGA’s digital seal, which confirmed the licensing status of sites. The regulator promised to introduce an alternative method for license verification.

🔹The decision was made against the backdrop of a data leak following a portal hack. CGA reported the incident on 17 September. 2 October the regulator said the system was temporarily unavailable, asked operators not to send documents by email that were intended for upload via the portal, and postponed submission deadlines until the system is restored.

Регулятор Кюрасао остаточно відключив ліцензійний портал для iGaming-операторів

🔹Управління з азартних ігор Кюрасао (CGA) повідомило, що не відновлюватиме роботу онлайн-порталу. Регулятор планує перейти на нову систему, однак порядок її роботи поки не представив.

🔹Дію ліцензій і нагляд за операторами продовжать забезпечувати за допомогою тимчасових механізмів. Чинні ліцензії залишаються дійсними, а оператори зобов’язані й надалі дотримуватися вимог регулятора.

🔹Відключення порталу також вплине на роботу цифрової печатки CGA, яка підтверджувала ліцензійний статус сайтів. Регулятор пообіцяв запровадити альтернативний спосіб перевірки ліцензій.

🔹Рішення ухвалили на тлі витоку даних після зламу порталу. Про інцидент CGA повідомило 17 вересня. 2 жовтня регулятор заявляв про тимчасову недоступність системи, просив операторів не надсилати електронною поштою документи, призначені для завантаження через портал, і переніс терміни їх подання до відновлення роботи системи.
