Curaçao B2B License
Message us on Telegram or WhatsApp for fast assistance!
A Curaçao B2B license, issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) under the LOK, allows companies to supply iGaming software, platforms, RNG, live-casino content, aggregation and payment solutions to licensed operators. Applicants must establish a Curaçao company with its statutory seat on the island; foreign suppliers are subject to CGA registration. Licensing becomes mandatory for Curaçao-based suppliers on 24 December 2026, and early filing is recommended.
Legarithm handles company formation, resident director and registered office, MLRO and AML/CFT setup, technology certification, hosting and the CGA application. We also assist with banking, payments and the Curaçao B2C gaming license.
Why Legarithm for your Curaçao B2B license
The Curaçao B2B license is a compliance project, not a form: it sits on a Curaçao company with real substance, a resident director and an MLRO, and it stands or falls on certified systems and a credible AML/CFT programme. Aligning the company, certification and application from the start helps keep the CGA review on track and avoids rework later.
We are a licensed corporate service provider that sets up Curaçao gaming suppliers end to end — the company and substance, the MLRO and AML/CFT framework, platform and RNG certification, approved hosting, and the CGA application and liaison — and supports the licensee afterwards with reporting, renewals and ongoing compliance. One team, from incorporation to a live supplier license.

How the Curaçao B2B license works
The Curaçao B2B license follows five steps across two phases, with the CGA targeting around 8 weeks per phase. Timelines depend on certification readiness and compliance.
Curaçao B2B license: compliance & obligations
A Curaçao B2B license requires ongoing AML/CFT compliance, certified systems, reporting, up‑to‑date fees and substance requirements.
AML/CFT & MLRO
A FATF-aligned AML/CFT programme with an appointed MLRO, KYC and ongoing transaction monitoring, and suspicious-activity reporting to the authorities.
Certified systems
The RNG and gaming platforms must be tested and certified to accepted standards and kept within the approved scope; material changes are re-reviewed.
Data privacy & security
Policies and controls for data protection and information security covering the systems and data the supplier handles.
Reporting & audits
Periodic reporting to the CGA and cooperation with audits and information requests under the LOK.
Local substance
Resident management and a registered office are maintained; operators and key suppliers face a local full-time key-person requirement from 1 April 2027.
Fees & good standing
Annual fees are paid on time (the CGA applies escalation for non-payment), and the license continues subject to compliance rather than fixed renewals.

Curaçao B2B license: market access & limitations
A Curaçao B2B license allows suppliers to serve licensed operators but not accept bets or offer games directly to players.
What it permits
Supplying gaming software, RNG, live content, aggregation and payment solutions within the approved scope.
B2B only — not player-facing
Direct gaming operations require a separate Curaçao B2C gaming license.
Who you can supply
CGA-licensed or recognised operators, and other operators where local rules permit. The operator remains responsible for its own market licensing.
Not a passport to regulated markets
A Curaçao license does not replace local supplier licenses required in regulated markets; local rules still apply.
Technical & hosting scope
Systems must use CGA-approved hosting and stay within the certified product scope.
Payments within scope
Payment services must fall within the license scope and the provider’s regulatory permissions.

Curaçao B2B license: FAQ
Still have questions?
What is a Curaçao B2B license?
It is the CGA supplier license under the LOK that lets a company supply gaming software, RNG, live-casino content, aggregation and related payment solutions to licensed operators. It does not authorise taking bets or offering games to players — that needs a B2C license.
Who needs a Curaçao B2B license?
Suppliers established in Curaçao that provide products or services to licensed operators need the supplier license; suppliers not established in Curaçao are instead subject to CGA registration. We confirm which applies to your company.
When does the Curaçao B2B license become mandatory?
Licensing for Curaçao-based suppliers becomes mandatory on 24 December 2026, and the CGA recommends filing well ahead of that date to allow for the two-phase review.
Do I need a Curaçao company for a B2B license?
Yes. The supplier license must be held by a company incorporated in Curaçao with its statutory seat on the island, with a resident director and a registered office. We handle the Curaçao company formation as part of the package.
How long does a Curaçao B2B license take?
The CGA targets around 8 weeks per phase across two phases, so a complete application is realistically a few months. Company formation and certification run alongside and affect the overall timeline.
How much does a Curaçao B2B license cost?
There is a one-off government application fee of around €4,600, plus annual CGA fees that are set by the regulator and confirmed on application. Company, certification, hosting and compliance setup are quoted by scope after a consultation.
What is the difference between a B2B and a B2C Curaçao license?
A B2B (supplier) license covers supplying software, content and services to operators; a B2C license covers offering games or bets directly to players. Many groups hold both on one Curaçao company — see our Curaçao B2C gaming license.
Does the license require certified systems and an MLRO?
Yes. The RNG and gaming platforms must be certified to accepted standards, and the licensee must appoint a Money Laundering Reporting Officer and run a FATF-aligned AML/CFT programme with ongoing monitoring and reporting.
Can a Curaçao B2B supplier work with operators in any market?
The license authorises supply within the CGA regime; it does not override another country’s rules. In markets that require a local supplier license, supply follows that market’s own requirements, and the operator remains responsible for its market licensing.
Can I open a bank or payment account for a Curaçao gaming supplier?
Yes. We assist with applications and introductions to banks, EMIs and PSPs that work with Curaçao gaming suppliers. Approval depends on the provider’s requirements and compliance review.
