The CGA clarified that updated documentation must be submitted no later than June 27, and the extension applies only to operators and providers who have already initiated the transition under the new framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl-1-768x261.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This move offers crucial breathing room for companies adapting to the LOK\u2019s more rigorous compliance environment. New obligations include enhanced anti-money laundering safeguards, responsible gaming protocols, mandatory dispute resolution mechanisms, and a full transition away from the historical master\/sub-license structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the extension is not automatic nor unconditional. Licensees must show measurable progress toward full regulatory compliance during this period. Those who fail to do so may risk losing both provisional and future licensing status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/europe\/dutch-government-to-enter-consultation-with-curacao-to-ensure-gambling-supervision-is-tightened-with-the-aim-of-combatting-money-laundering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dutch government to enter consultation with Cura\u00e7ao to ensure gambling supervision is tightened with the aim of combatting money laundering.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision reflects the CGA\u2019s pragmatic stance\u2014acknowledging the operational complexity of compliance, while maintaining pressure for reform. The regulator had already faced criticism over delays in the application process and the backlog of approvals. This extension serves both as a buffer and as a firm checkpoint in the modernization process. For gaming suppliers and platform providers, this is a chance to regroup, strategize, and secure their position in a jurisdiction still considered pivotal in the international online gaming ecosystem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cura\u00e7ao extends provisional gaming licenses until December 2025, offering operators and suppliers extra time to meet new regulatory standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12488,"menu_order":117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[1031,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-12487","1":"gambling","2":"type-gambling","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"tag-curacao","8":"tag-sports-betting","9":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
