However, nearly a year later, uncertainty surrounds key aspects of its rollout \u2014 including enforcement timelines, transitional arrangements for existing operators, and the stability of the CGA itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9622\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/multigame-diamod-III-700-eng-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In mid-September 2025, the <strong>entire CGA board resigned<\/strong>, citing internal disagreements and administrative gridlock. Since then, the government has taken temporary control of the regulator\u2019s functions, raising questions about the independence of the new oversight body. Opposition figures in Parliament have called the situation \u201ca governance failure that risks damaging Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s international reputation as a credible licensing hub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local operators and international stakeholders have expressed frustration at the lack of clarity. Although the CGA published updated <strong>licence fee guidelines<\/strong> earlier this month \u2014 outlining pro-rata billing for 2025 and revised B2C\/B2B fee structures \u2014 no official timeline has been confirmed for full regulatory enforcement. Several operators remain in a transitional \u201cpre-approval\u201d phase, operating under letters of intent while awaiting their permanent LOK licences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government maintains that reforms are progressing and that the new system will deliver \u201ctransparency, integrity, and economic growth.\u201d Yet, critics argue that without a functioning board or clear enforcement roadmap, the LOK risks becoming another incomplete reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Cura\u00e7ao seeks to shed its \u201cpost-box\u201d image and align with international compliance standards, the pressure is mounting for authorities to restore confidence and demonstrate that the LOK is more than a law on paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local operators and international stakeholders have expressed frustration at the lack of clarity.
