No, it is not! Curaçao license don't give any benefit to anyone. It can be bought without any verification of operator and/or software.
Reputation is only thing that matter. We have flawless reputation. We paid out millions of dollars of winnings, and we don't need a license from a corrupt country.
I'm afraid that's not true. Not everyone can just get a license in Curacao. if you don't have a touring budget, or have a fraudulent past somewhere, you can forget about a license in Curacao.
That does not mean anything about reputation. You always have to build it up in accordance with the license. I just think that a license from Curacao gives more security and confidence to players.
