Hi guys. I’m planning to launch an online casino targeting international players, but I want a licensing option that is fast, cost-effective, and recognized worldwide. What are the main requirements, costs, and ongoing obligations for a Curacao gaming license, and how does it compare to other jurisdictions like Malta or the UK?

Hello! A gaming license Curacao is ideal for startups seeking a quick and flexible entry into international iGaming markets. You’ll need a local company with a resident director, implement KYC/AML and responsible gaming policies, and certify your games. Costs include €4,000–€7,500 for the application, ~€60,000 yearly license, plus setup and compliance expenses. Curacao allows one license for multiple game types, but geo-restrictions apply. While faster and cheaper than Malta or the UK, it’s best for operators who may later seek additional European licenses.
