On December 7, 2023, 45 months! after they have been tasked with the licensing for and supervision of the online gaming sector, I informed (with proof) the GCB about Stake's provably rigged in-house Black Jack system and asked them to intervene.
6 months later and 51 months! after they have been tasked with the licensing for and supervision of the online gaming sector, they answered the following:
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) is currently not able to handle your request.
The government of Curaçao is actively in the process of modernizing our gambling legislation and setting up our online gaming policies and procedures.
We expect to be of more help as soon as the new legislation enters into force, which we expect to be the case in the second half of 2024.
We kindly point out in advance that the GCB will not investigate all complaints. For example, the GCB does not have the authority to adjudicate disputes between the complainant and the accused party and to settle claims or award damages. Only if a complaint indicates a violation of the applicable regulations, the supervisory task of the GCB entails that this will be investigated further.
For the time being, we kindly suggest, that at all times you seek legal advice for any claims you may have vis-à-vis the license holder or other party or parties. We refer to the following page that contains a list of law firms established in Curacao that may be able to assist you:

51 months! after they have been tasked with the licensing for and supervision of the online gaming sector, they are not willing to investigate Stake's provably rigged in-house Black Jack system, even though this is a violation of the applicable regulations!
4,5 years! after they have been tasked with the licensing for and supervision of the online gaming sector, they accepted a license application by Medium Rare N.V. / stake.com and even gave them a "Certificate of Operation" during the license application process, even though 10 months before I informed them (with proof) about Stake's provably rigged in-house Black Jack system!
On November 11, 2024 and 56 months! after they have been tasked with the licensing for and supervision of the online gaming sector, I sent the following email to the GCB:
We are deep into the second half of 2024 and meanwhile you even accepted a license application for Medium Rare N.V. / stake.com and even gave them a "Certificate of Operation", even though I informed you (with proof) already in December 2023 about their provably rigged in-house Black Jack system!"
Running a rigged in-house Black Jack system is a violation of the applicable regulations, so do your job and investigate!
Please confirm receipt of this email.
The GCB is an authority and not a nameless venture like the 4 master-license holders were!
Are they a new partner in crime?
