Foreign licences: what the register shows for every ranked casino

The Curaçao CGA portal: how to find foreign licences there

The Curaçao Gaming Authority publishes certificates in the portal at cert.cga.cw. The earlier address cert.gcb.cw now redirects there; we found that redirect on 2 September 2026. The search page is at cert.cga.cw/search, and there is no visible link to it from the portal's front page, so the path has to be typed in.

The search runs by domain or company name, not by licence number. If you want to know who holds OGL/2024/1337/0628, start from the domain shuffle.com rather than from the string of digits. An empty result means something only if you searched on the right key.

A certificate shows the company, its registration number, the licence number, the date of issue, the status and the list of domains covered. It is that list of domains that decides whether the certificate touches the site you play on.

The public register of Anjouan

The Anjouan Gaming Board keeps a public register at anjouangaming.com. There the search runs the other way round, by licence number. Every entry carries the holder's name, the status, two dates — issue and expiry — and a list of the domains that belong to the entry.

That last field is the most telling one in Anjouan, because many sites can sit under one number. Twenty-nine domains sat under Metlait SRL's licence ALSI-202509073-FI2 on 2 September 2026. Finding the number is not enough: find in the list the very domain you play on.

The Malta Gaming Authority also keeps a public register, but none of the ranked operators names a Maltese licence.

Foreign licences at the ranked operators

The table shows each operator's number, its holder, and what the authority showed on the date noted.

Six rows need an explanation; the rest follow in a list after them. The full card for every operator, with its coins and withdrawal clauses, is among the operator fact boxes.

Rocketpot: the portal shows the certificate as not holding

Clause 1.2 of the terms calls 1668/JAZ the registration number of the company Danneskjold Ventures B.V., while the footer calls the same number a casino licence. On 12 and 13 September 2026 the CGA portal showed that the certificate does not hold. The identity clauses earn Rocketpot four points out of five: thresholds of 2,000 USD (cl. 12.4) and 2,500 USD or 0.05 BTC (cl. 11.4), and 30 calendar days for documents. The register point goes unearned.

The same number turns up elsewhere too. Bitcasino.io's anti-money-laundering page, headed with the date 24 November 2022, also carries 1668/JAZ, while its licence page names OGL/2023/111/0069.

Metaspins: two authorities that do not answer to each other

Clause 1.1 prints the Anjouan number ALSI-202606048-FI2 in the name of the company 3-102-959384 SRL. In the Curaçao register, as at 12 September 2026, metaspins.com carried an entirely different entry: holder Metaspins N.V., licence OGL/2024/1063/0437, status active. So one site carries two authorities and two companies, and not one sentence from the operator joins them up.

The same clause 1.1 names Costa Rica as the governing law and the forum for disputes. As long as the texts do not agree with each other, the ranking does not award the register point. What that means for a complaint is explained in the disputes and complaints guide.

Wild.io: one certificate, two company names

Certificate OGL/2024/210/0198, issued in Curaçao on 14 April 2025, named Nonce Gaming B.V. as holder as at 31 August 2026. Wild.io's own terms name Stack Gaming Ltd as the contracting party. Both are documents from the operator's side and we show them side by side, choosing neither.

For a player that means something simple: the company you sign a contract with is not the one on the certificate. Wild.io still earns the register point in the ranking, because the licence exists in the register for its domain.

Wild Fortune: valid to 29 September 2026

The holder is Metlait SRL, Anjouan number ALSI-202509073-FI2, issued on 30 September 2025. On 12 September 2026 wildfortune.io sat under the entry with the status valid and an expiry date of 29 September 2026. Clause 1.1 of the terms, meanwhile, names the Tobique Gaming Commission and the number 0000064.

The register point is given as at the day of reading, and after the expiry date we look at the entry again. The terms have one more peculiarity: clause 2.7 requires an identity document before play in bitcoin.

Jack.com: a new domain with its own certificate

Jackbit was renamed Jack.com on 29 May 2026. The Curaçao portal gives the new domain its own active certificate: OGL/2024/1562/1139, Data Link Digital B.V., issued on 23 July 2025. The former address jackbit.com is tied to a separate certificate.

A change of domain can therefore mean a change of certificate as well, so note the exact address at which you opened an account. The licence dates of the newer operators are compared in the overview of new casinos.

Vave (outside the ranking): the certificate carries vavegame.com

Latcas B.V.'s licence OGL/2024/1676/0905 has been active since 19 May 2025. On 12 September 2026 the CGA portal showed one domain under that certificate, vavegame.com, and vave.com was not on it. That is why Vave does not meet the fifth criterion, whatever its place outside the ranking.

In the cashier, clause 8.11 requires the deposit to be staked three times in the casino and live casino, or once in sports, before a withdrawal.

The remaining rows

• Bitcasino.io: Moon Technologies B.V., OGL/2023/111/0069, issued 1 July 2024; on 12 September 2026 the domain bitcasino.io stood on the certificate.
• Shuffle.com: OGL/2024/1337/0628 held by Natural Nine B.V., issued 16 October 2024; the number is the same in the register and in the operator's text (8 September 2026). The only discrepancy is in the naming: the licence page and the money-laundering rules name the Curaçao Gaming Control Board, the terms the Curaçao Gaming Authority.
• Bitsler: Oyine N.V., OGL/2024/930/0387, issued 22 July 2024; bitsler.com was on the certificate on 12 September 2026, although clause 1.1 of the terms still calls the number an application under consideration.
• Thunderpick: the register shows OGL/2024/677/0722 as active; the terms themselves name neither the authority nor the number.
• Rainbet: the footer carries a “Licensed” mark with no number; clause 21.6 names Gaming Services Provider N.V. as the authority.
• Wolfbet: ALSI-132405048-FI3 is printed in the first paragraph of clause 1 and in the footer; the register does not confirm the licence for its domain, so the fifth point is not counted.

Estonia in the operators' restricted-country lists

Many operators' terms carry a list of countries whose residents may not open or use an account. The figure on this page shows, for each ranked operator, what its own list says about Estonia, with the clause and the date.

That list is written by the operator itself. It is not a decision of any Estonian body, nor a requirement published by a licensing authority; it is a term of the contract you accept when you tick the terms box at registration.

What such a clause means for an account

Where a country is on the list, an account opened or used from there is at odds with the operator's terms. The consequences stand in those same texts and touch both access and money:

• the account may be closed;
• winnings may be held: Wild Fortune's clause 2.4 says a player from an excluded territory has no right to a refund or a payout;
• the identity check brings the country of residence into view: Vave's clause 8.7 requires a document showing a name, a photograph, a date of birth and a citizenship, and a failed check means the account is closed and winnings confiscated.

The risk therefore surfaces when the file is looked at, and with an operator that checks at a withdrawal, that moment coincides with taking a win out rather than with paying money in. The simplest reading is also the most useful: if your country of residence is on an operator's list, its terms do not provide for you to have an account. The clauses that trigger a check are gathered in the overview of identity clauses.

What absence from the list means

If Estonia is not on the list, that means one definite thing: the country was not named in the operator's published full list on the date shown. It says nothing beyond that. Three precautions are worth taking:

• a list changes without notice: the only guarantee a row carries is the date it was read, and what binds you is the version in force on the day you register;
• some lists end with an open group: Shuffle.com's clause 8.3 adds a general clause to the named jurisdictions;
• one document may carry two lists: Rocketpot's terms list countries in clause 3.1 and again in clause 2.1.11, and the two overlap only in part.

What a licence changes for your account

A licence decides who writes part of the rules. Rocketpot's clause 12.4 provides for an additional check on every withdrawal above 2,000 USD “or as required by the gaming licence”, so the threshold in the contract can move if the authority requires it.

A licence does not, however, guarantee the outcome of a withdrawal. A certificate says who supervises the operator, but not how a particular request will be settled. That is decided by the withdrawal and identity clauses, which are explained in the guide to waiting for a payout.

A register entry holds good only for the day it was read. A valid entry can expire, a certificate can take a new holder, and a domain can drop off a list. That is why every row of the table carries a date, as described in our reading and dating rules.

Check foreign licences yourself in five steps

1. Note the number, the company and the named authority from the footer and the terms.
2. Open that authority's register: cert.cga.cw/search for Curaçao, the public register at anjouangaming.com for Anjouan.
3. Search by domain in Curaçao and by number in Anjouan, then see whether your domain is under the entry.
4. Compare the company, the number, the status, the expiry date and the list of domains.
5. Note the date on which you looked: an entry valid today may expire next month.

If the domain is missing, the company is a different one or the status is not active, keep that discrepancy in mind before your first deposit. Then compare with the five-criteria ranking to see how much the register criterion weighs in the score.

If you find a discrepancy

A discrepancy does not automatically mean something is wrong, but it changes the answer to the question of who to turn to in a dispute. Three things are worth doing before a first deposit:

1. Save the register page as a screenshot with the date.
2. Ask the operator's support in writing which company is your contracting party and which licence covers your domain.
3. Compare the answer with the register and the terms, and only then decide.

If the answer does not match the register, keep that correspondence: in a complaint you will then have both the operator's claim and the register's state from the same period. Checking an Estonian permit works differently, by domain in the national list; that is described in the guide to searching the national list.
