The current setup is a direct Curaçao Gaming Authority license, not an old 8048/JAZ number. Sub-licenses and master licenses in that form are no longer the current format. A player wants an OGL number and a CGA register entry.
Public 2026 fees: about €4,592 to apply, once, non-refundable. About €47,450 a year for B2C. That is the regulator fee, not a turnkey price. With a company, a director and compliance, the first year is often higher. A clean file usually takes 3–5 months if the papers are ready.
What to check before a deposit: the number opens in the register, the company matches the site, the domain is the same, the status is not “under review” and not expired. A shield screenshot in the footer proves nothing without that check.
Curaçao is not Malta and not the UKGC. It is a working offshore permit, not a promise that a dispute will go the player’s way. It is common on Russian-language rooms, but the number still has to be checked.

I no longer look at a footer screenshot without a register number. If the link does not open, it is an empty badge to me.
I still see the old 8048/JAZ on mirrors. I check whether there is a new OGL number or just a copy of an old image.
The price is not about the player. €47,450 is a year for the company, not a fairness score.
