case study
Clients Obtained Curacao License Without Certified Platform
Innovative solutions enable clients to obtain a Curacao gaming license without certified software.
Overview
  • Client: iGaming company
  • Industry: iGaming/Hi-Tech
  • Services used: Licensing support for proprietary platforms without GLI certification
  • Results: License obtained without certified software through creative legal strategies
Client's Situation
One of the recurring challenges faced by our legal team is obtaining a Curacao license for clients who have developed their own betting and gaming platform (BKP) but whose platform has not yet been certified according to international standards such as GLI.

The client's goal was to obtain a Curacao license to start operations on their own platform, despite the lack of software certification at the time of application.
Our Solution
Our team has successfully navigated this issue by using one of three methods (or a mix of them), each tailored to different situations:

1. Close Connections with Master License Holder

In this method, we leveraged strong relationships with specific master license holders. This allowed us to negotiate a conditional license issuance with the understanding that the platform's certification would be submitted later during the operational phase. This approach ensured that the client could start operating while completing the certification process in parallel.

2. Partnering with WL providers

The second method involved partnering with an existing, certified platform or white-label providers. In this case, we helped clients sign an agreement with a certified platform, which satisfied the master license holders' requirements for issuing the license. However, the client continued to operate on their own platform (at their own risk), effectively bypassing the need for immediate certification while maintaining complete control over their proprietary software.

3. Creative Legal Documentation

When neither of the above options was feasible, our legal team demonstrated exceptional creativity and skill. We drafted the necessary documents, letters from game providers, and contracts to convincingly show that the client's proprietary software was ready for operation and met the technical standards needed for licensing (usually, it was a mix with 1st option). It was working with some of the Masters, so a set of documents from game providers confirmed that the software works appropriately, and some other essential documents helped clients start operating without certification.
Results Achieved
  • Our legal team has successfully obtained Curacao licenses for multiple clients using all three models, no matter the complexity of the situation.
  • These tailored solutions allowed our clients to begin operations without waiting for the lengthy certification process, ensuring their businesses could thrive from the start.
