Curacao licensed casinos banning Curacao residents?

[Yogee]

Finally! Thank you Hhampuz.

This leads me to another issue now since it appears that other online casinos aren't implementing the policy set by the Curacao Government. This also  supports why there are people who doesn't think highly of gambling license obtained there. They don't check if the rules are strictly followed.

AFAIK they only have Curacao's License to Operate, regardless of what a gambling platform's exclusive policy is. Hence, the government and laws of curacao especially in gambling casinos (physical or online) doesn't really have that sort of sensitivity with the policies of those companies.

Errrr did you actually read my post and the link provided above why that's the case?

Online casinos applying for license to operate ARE REQUIRED to ban residents of Curacao before they can get approval. The Curacao Government can revoke license of an approved online casino if they don't follow that rule.

Also, why would they restrict things that they know they aren't capable to manage?

Why give license in the first place if you don't plan to regulate then?

If there are a lot of gambling casinos registered in Curacao, do you think they can even regulate each and one of them and check if their policies were inclined with the local Curacao policies? Or do they even care with the platforms' exclusive policies afterall?

I'm sure they have a list of online gambling platforms they've approved. Let's say, for the sake of example, they have given 5,000 licenses so far. How difficult would it be to visit the casino's website and check if they forbid resident of Curacao in their ToS? It would probably just take a month to review them all.

I'm glad I didn't close the thread after I got the answer from the very first comment as I learned more.
- The no license for 100% bitcoin or crypto casino mentioned by mindrust intrigues me.
- Russlenal also pointed out that other countries does it too.

Stake is with that license correct but Curacao I do not think is on any list of banned countries,,, it is one of the small offshore jurisdictions where a lot of their economy is from online gambling. Things will probably not change especially with Covid precautions maybe now we see more and more online licenses coming up.

I didn't know about this information yet before reading this thread, I am very curious why the Curacao Government bans their residents from online gambling even if we know that most of the casino licenses are coming from them.

They should serve as an example because their license can't be trusted if the license provider are prohibiting their people in playing to those casinos that they give licenses. Though it is only my opinion as I am not so sure why they are doing it even if they are the main license provider to most of the online casinos.

There's nothing wrong with that, in the Philippines there's a POGO or Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Offshore_Gaming_Operator) but Filipinos are not allowed to gambling in POGO, the state just want to make money through taxes derived from POGO but still consistent with their policy to limit Filipinos exposure in gambling.

Such exceptions are not new for citizens. Monegasque citizens are not allowed to play in casinos in their country. I just recently learned this from this topic and the article listed there.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Curacao authorities prohibit their citizens from playing in casinos.
