Curaçao: temporary licensing portal, register and seal scheduled after hack

What was announced

The Curaçao Gaming Authority said it will stop using the provider of its hacked licensing portal. A temporary portal, public licence register and digital seal were due on 19 October 2026 while an independent investigation continues. Trade press reported parts of the system were still awaiting security tests when the date was set.

Existing licences remain valid.

What this means for the register

IRLG's Curaçao checks rely on the official register. Re-checks of Curaçao records will use the temporary register once it can be read reliably. Until then, a missing or non-working seal on a website is not, on its own, evidence that a licence has ended.
