Curaçao appeal court limits master licensee liability after sublicence ends

Regulation

Curaçao’s appeal court ruled that a master licence holder is not responsible for a sublicensee’s obligations after their contract ends, overturning an earlier judgment in a dispute over unpaid online casino winnings. The case concerned Gaming Services Provider’s sublicence to Orient Power Holdings for topbet.eu from November 2015 to November 2017; the court found no evidence that the claimed unpaid winnings arose during that period.
