Curaçao Retires Online Gaming Portal Permanently Following High-Profile Data Breach

The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) has confirmed that its online gaming portal will not return to service, closing a chapter on one of the more consequential cybersecurity incidents to affect a gambling regulator in recent years. In a notice dated 7 October, the regulator stated that the portal “will not be returned to service” and that the jurisdiction will transition to a new regulatory platform. The portal, which had been operational since September 2023, served as the primary gateway for licensing activity under Curaçao’s reformed regulatory framework, handling both B2C and B2B licence applications.
