Licence records: every number, and what each register returned
Fifteen Curaçao licences, twelve Anjouan, three brands with none, and one register line that comes back revoked. Plus the two official Curaçao sources that do not always agree.

Compiler of the operator records, working from published terms and licence registers
A licence is the one thing in a casino relationship that a third party is supposed to be able to check, which makes it the field where a comparison site is most useful and most easily wrong. Every licence line quoted here belongs to one of the crypto casinos for Japan on the front page.
Twenty-seven of the thirty brands here name an authority and publish a number. Fifteen name a Curaçao-family licence, twelve name the Anjouan Gaming Board, and three — BetPlays, Crashino and Nitrobetting — name nothing. Each of those gaps is repeated in the casino reviews, next to the rest of the brand's record.
One of the twenty-seven comes back revoked. And the Curaçao Gaming Authority's two official sources, its certificate portal and its PDF register, can say different things about the same number. Both facts are on this page rather than buried, because a licence page that reports only the good results is not a licence page.
The one revoked licence
Bets.io publishes the Curaçao number OGL/2024/1178/0479. The register returns it as revoked.
That is the authority's own record, read on the date printed on this page. It is not an allegation about the operator's conduct and it is not a prediction about anyone's withdrawal. It is the single most consequential line in this whole register, and it is why the ordering here demotes a revoked licence below every live one regardless of what else a record contains.
The brand is not removed. Removing it would delete the evidence a reader most needs, and leaving it in with a flag is the only version of this page that is honest about what was found.
The Curaçao group, and its two official sources
Fifteen brands cite a licence from the Curaçao family, and the numbers come in two formats you can tell apart at a glance. Numbers shaped OGL/YYYY/NNN/NNNN are issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority under the present regime; 1668/JAZ, 8048/JAZ2019-015 and others like them belong to the earlier master-licence system it replaced. Rocketpot publishes 1668/JAZ, and Bitdreams names Antillephone N.V. with 8048/JAZ2019-015.
For the thirteen OGL numbers, the record links the Certificate of Operation that the Curaçao Gaming Authority hosts on its portal, cert.cga.cw, and each of those pages states a status. Read between 26 and 28 August 2026, twelve say Active and one, the Bets.io certificate, says Revoked. The two older numbers held by Rocketpot and Bitdreams have no certificate page attached in the record.
The authority also puts out a PDF register, and for some of the same numbers it shows a different date and a status such as ‘Assessment in progress’. This site prints the status from the certificate page. Where the two official sources disagree, the disagreement is reported as settling nothing in either direction, and no licence here is marked invalid because of it.

Each number exactly as the operator prints it; status lines from the CGA certificate pages. Documents read from 26 to 28 August 2026.
The Anjouan group, and what its register returns
Twelve brands name the Anjouan Gaming Board, in a single ALSI- format: Bitkingz, CoinCasino, Coins.Game, DuckDice, Empire.io, JacksClub, LeeBet, Rainbet, Rakebit, Windice, Winz.io and Wolf.bet.
The Anjouan authority answers through a validation endpoint, and eleven of the twelve Anjouan rows here carry the status it returned; Wolf.bet's is the one left without. A caution goes with every one of them: the Anjouan register calls each entry ‘valid’, including entries whose expiry date has already passed, so the date printed beside the status matters as much as the word itself.
Bitkingz and Winz.io publish the same number, ALSI-202508056-FI2. As with CryptoLeo and Nine Casino on the Curaçao side, a shared licence usually means a shared operator — which is worth knowing before you treat two brands as independent options.
The three with no licence at all
Nowhere in the documents we read do BetPlays, Crashino or Nitrobetting name a licensing authority. Nitrobetting publishes a founding year of 2013 and a seven-coin cashier, and no licence; Crashino publishes thirty-six studios and no licence; BetPlays publishes nineteen studios and a weekly ceiling and no licence.
This is the most consequential blank on the site after the revoked line. No authority means no register to search, no complaint route, and no external forum for a dispute. It is not a claim that any of the three is dishonest; it is a statement about what recourse exists if something goes wrong.
All three remain in the table, close to the bottom — a position that comes from the evidence, not from anyone's opinion.
Questions people ask
- Which casino here has a revoked licence?
Bets.io. Its published Curaçao number OGL/2024/1178/0479 comes back revoked in the register. The brand is kept in the table, flagged, and demoted below every operator with a live licence.
- Can I check a Curaçao licence myself?
Yes. An operator's Certificate of Operation on cert.cga.cw names the holder and states the status, and the portal's own search at cert.cga.cw/search finds entries by domain or company name — not by licence number. If the authority's PDF register shows something different for the same number, this site treats the two sources as disagreeing and draws no conclusion either way.
- Do any two brands share a licence?
Two pairs do. CryptoLeo and Nine Casino both publish OGL/2024/1267/0760; Bitkingz and Winz.io both publish ALSI-202508056-FI2. A shared number usually indicates a shared operator.
- Is Anjouan a real licence?
It is a real licensing authority, and its validation endpoint returns a status for a given number. One caution: the Anjouan register marks every entry ‘valid’, including some whose expiry date has already passed, so read the date beside the status too. This site does not rank one authority above another; a fair ranking would rest on enforcement records, and those have not been read.
