The Curaçao Gaming Authority has automatically extended provisional licences issued on 24 December 2024 by six months, until 24 December 2025, unless licensees were notified directly that their licences would not be renewed. The extension covers B2C operators and B2B licensees; updated documents are expected by June 27, while operators must meet portal checklist obligations.
