Curacao’s GCB Portal open for account registration

Having been launched as an information portal eight weeks ago Curacao’s GCB Portal opened this week for account registration for all new applicants and sub-license holders.

The GCB Portal is a web-based regulatory hub from which all aspects of gaming licensing – whether initial registration and applications or ongoing license management – along with all communications between the operator and the GCB will occur.

From this point on all applicants can commence setting up their Account with the GCB – for the following five purposes

Account management
Sublicense registration
Gaming application
License Management
Ticketing System

Applications can be uploaded from a verified account from the 15^th November.

A verified account is one that is

(1) registered in the name of a Curacao company along with
(2) a unique email address attached to that company and
(3) a signed letter of authorisation sent to and approved by the GCB.

The Letter of Authorisation can be downloaded here.

The portal contains the complete set of forms necessary for a license application along with supplementary FAQs and guidance notes.

Forma available include:

Authorisation letter
Application form
