Rules and licensingCuraçao gaming regulator closes portal following major security breach
The Curaçao Gaming Authority is shutting down its online portal after a cyberattack exposed sensitive information regarding licensed gambling companies.
Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 13 October 2026
The Curaçao Gaming Authority confirmed that its current online portal will remain closed following a security breach that occurred last month. This decision comes after unauthorized access compromised sensitive documents and ownership details related to various gambling operators. The regulator is now moving to a new platform to manage its licensing activities.
Impact on existing licenses
Existing gambling licenses remain fully valid despite the portal closure. Operators must continue to meet all regulatory obligations while the authority manages this transition. The regulator is currently using alternative methods to handle compliance and supervision tasks until a new system is ready.
New verification methods
The digital seal currently used by sites will be affected by these changes. The authority plans to introduce a different way for operators to prove they hold a valid license. No specific timeline has been provided for when the new platform will go live.
The wagering requirement for this matter was not stated.
If you bet with a site licensed in this jurisdiction, check for alternative verification signs as the regulator updates its systems.
