Curaçao eGaming offers a licensing framework that is both comprehensive and simplified for online gaming operators. Curaçao, in contrast to numerous jurisdictions that necessitate distinct licenses for various forms of gambling, provides a unified licensing framework that encompasses an extensive array of online gaming operations. The objective of this simplified approach is to guarantee regulatory compliance while simultaneously reducing complexity.
1. Master License
The Master License is the main license issued by the Government of Curaçao. It is issued to authorized entities under the supervision of the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. The holder of the Master License may operate the gaming platform directly or issue sub-licenses to other operators.
Key Features of the License
- Issued by the Curacao Ministry of Justice
- Allows direct operation of iGaming services

Nevertheless, a Master License is typically only granted to reputable companies, and severe criteria must be satisfied in order to obtain one.
2. Sublicense
The most prevalent alternative for gaming operators is a sub-license. It is issued by the primary licensee and grants complete access to the iGaming market. A sub-license is not authorized to issue additional sub-licenses, but it does inherit the legal coverage and operating privileges of the primary license.
Key Features of the Sublicense
- Issued by One of Four Master License Holders: Cyberluck Curaçao N.V. (#1668/JAZ), Gaming Services Provider N.V. (#365/JAZ), Curaçao Interactive Licensing N.V. (#5536/JAZ), or Antillephone N.V. (#8048/JAZ).

- Online Casinos

- Lotteries
- Poker Rooms
- Requires fewer resources and documentation compared to a master license
- Ideal for startups and mid-sized operators looking for cost-effective solutions.
3. B2B License

This includes software providers, payment processors, and other backend service companies that are integral to the gaming ecosystem. B2B license holders do not offer gaming directly to players but provide essential infrastructure and services to B2C operators.
Key Features of the B2B License
