It meanwhile turned out that the SoftSwiss white label construction has no legal basis!

thanks for sharing !

Why are Curacao fake sub-licenses a good jurisdiction?

Curacao license scam 1668/JAZ, sub-licenses have no legal basis!

Curacao licensing scam operators | Please add all gaming sites here!

Curacao is definitely a good jurisdiction to license from and we are seeing more and more Bitcoin casino inquiries coming our way. We host around 30+ cryptocurrency casinos. Some are licensed from Curacao, some are licensed in alternative jurisdictions, some use a shared license and some are not licensed at all.

If you are looking to have some form of cover for your casino, why not get in touch:

1. We can assist you with your license setup
2. Provide you with cost-effective hosting
3. Show you alternative ways of getting some form of regulation / licensing at a minimal cost
4. Provide insight into what you need to do for games you may be building in order to ensure they are accepted by the Master License holder

I think you should remove coinbet.cc

They have scammed some one over $340k and they are not active any more

I wonder if the current Dice/Casino sites will make efforts to get licensed?

Verajohn does not appear to have bitcoin? Or at least they don't have it listed on their front page along the rest of the payment methods?

really nice work

While Curacao licensing is a bit tricky (PM, if you would want to know the details) Antillephone N.V. is certainly optimal provider of Curacao sub-license.

I would like to, but as I understand this thread would not be allowed in the gambling section if I put affiliate links.

These are all third party websites though. But I think I found it here: http://www.ciga.an/policy.htm

But this document appears to be old. Licensees are supposed to pay about $6000 a month and 2% of revenue to the government. The document is from 2002 and doesn't mention the kind of sub-licensing that curacao-egaming.com is offering.

found this for curaçao licenses:

Antillephone N.V. is indeed listed as a real license holder on the actual Curacao Internet Gaming Association website so this explanation appears to be plausible. License status changed to "Verified". It's still unclear what is actually needed in order to get a sublicense like this.

Thanks for the clarification. Can I find the gaming license requirements somewhere?

verajohn sucks

Thanks bitcasino.io!  Great that you guys are taking the proactive stance and going for a gaming license.  you guys could eventually take in real money as an alternate currency too!

Hey,

It's cool that someone started this thread, so let me explain unclear information regarding our service (coingaming.io and it's products):

mBet Solutions NV owns and operates the brand www.coingaming.io which provides B2B gaming platforms. mBet Solutions NV also owns the B2C facing brand www.bitcasino.io which utilities the gaming platform provided by coingaming.io. mBet Solutions NV holds an active gaming license and is responsible for the game / server integrity, accountability and player protection towards the Curacao gaming commission.

Our gaming transaction servers are hosted at the E-Zone Vredenberg, Curacao as per the gaming license requirements.

An extract from the gaming license certificate includes:

Antillephone N.V., holder of a Master Gaming License #8048/JAZ of the Central Government of the Netherlands Antilles, which is entitled to issue sub-licenses, certifies that mBet Solutions N.V. holds a sub-license under License #8048/JAZ 2014-008 for use as of 20 May, 2013.

Additional details:
- Official Decree of the Central Government of the Netherlands Antilles No 8048/JAZ dated 29 November 1996, No 41, signed by the Minister of Justice, laying down the Master License granted to Antillephone N.V, allowing the operation of Games of Chance on the International market via service lines
- The Minister of Justice has given his consent for the use of the Internet as well through No 7228/JAZ dated 22 January 1999

And just to add more clearness: Vera&John is a real-money casino, it can't work without license and bitcoins is just additional banking method what converts coins into real currency. We are working JUST with bitcoins and "officially" we don't need any licences (like everyone else operate). But in the same time our main goal is to protect our players and make their money be in a safe place - just because of that our first goal was to get licence and provide fair service.

Great thread. Thank you for finding the information and organizing it all in one place.

Well most of these license are easy to get, I say these license are not reputable.  I see only one from Europe thats reputable


Its funny you put Vera and John first and a newbie, meaning your trying to promote them

I have the feeling a lot of people don't care about it since Bitcoin has traditionally been off the books. I was gonna check it either way so I figured I might as well post the findings.

Even for people that don't care about the licenses it might be useful to know which casinos are dishonest enough to have fake licenses.
