About The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA)
The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) is an independent regulatory body responsible for overseeing and supervising the gaming industry in Curaçao, including sports betting, casino gaming, and poker. Their primary goal is to ensure that all gaming activities are conducted in a fair, secure, and responsible manner, in compliance with the laws of Curaçao.
Established in 1996, the CGA is the oldest gaming authority in the Caribbean and has since become one of the world's most recognised offshore licensing jurisdictions. Curaçao has issued thousands of licences to international operators — including some of the biggest names in the industry.
