The Curaçao Gaming Authority, or CGA, is the statutory regulator responsible for Curaçao's reformed gambling regime. It replaced the earlier Curaçao Gaming Control Board name and operates under the Landsverordening op de Kansspelen, commonly referred to as the LOK, which modernised the island's licensing framework.
The newer system moved away from the historic master-licence and sub-licence model toward direct regulatory licensing and supervision. Operators and suppliers therefore need to be assessed under the current CGA framework rather than relying on an old sub-licence number or master-licensee relationship as proof of present status.
The CGA's functions include processing applications, supervising licensees, enforcing regulatory requirements and maintaining public information about the regime. Its framework addresses governance, technical compliance, responsible gambling, anti-money-laundering controls and the suitability of licensed entities. Transition timing is important because some businesses entered the new system from legacy arrangements while others required new applications.
A casino footer copied from the old regime can therefore describe a legal structure that no longer reflects the current licence. For a current status check, the relevant evidence is the CGA's own licence or application information and the legal entity named by the operator.
The regulator's role is licensing and oversight; it does not make every consumer dispute a licence-status question, and complaint routes should follow the CGA's current published process. Curaçao Gaming Authority publishes current licensing and enforcement material.
Its public register is the key status reference.
