The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) said its current online portal for the gaming sector will not be returned to service. The regulator announced the decision in an official press release on Wednesday, Oct. 7.
Discontinuing the portal also ends the service arrangements that supported the platform. The CGA is moving to a new platform and says it will keep its regulatory functions running without interruption.
The release mentions continuing efforts to contain the data leak after the unauthorized access incident, but it does not name the incident as the reason for the decision. We covered the leak itself in our report on the leak of more than 40,000 CGA documents.
What the CGA says about operators
The portal's closure does not affect existing licenses, the obligations of licensed operators or the regulator's supervisory responsibilities. Licensing, compliance and supervision will continue through "alternative arrangements" while an interim solution is put in place to keep processing licenses and regulatory matters.
The CGA planned to share details of those arrangements no later than Oct. 9, 2026. We found no confirmation that the regulator has published them.
The availability of the current CGA digital seal will also be affected. The regulator said it will "shortly" introduce another way for operators to show that a domain is licensed by the CGA.
"We recognize that this transition may create challenges for operators and appreciate their cooperation and understanding during this period," the CGA said in the release. The regulator said it will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
