Curacao license scam

[Obito]

All gambling sites can be a scam if the owner of that certain site don't want to continue anymore he can surely disappear without any trace but if that certain gambling site is regulated and the owner is well known then authorities can sure help a certain individual who was scam by that gambling site,

This is not particularly new in my opinion certain license scam will still be a possibility even today and I think that the license standard in Curacao is certainly weak meaning almost any gambling sites and establishment can get a license and the drawback on this would be the establishment of well-known or reputable gambling establishment and site's will have a bad reputation and people would certainly have trust issues.

If a gambling site quits with a process, it isn't a scam, that's preposterous to all gambling sites that are legitimate and that they are one step from becoming a scam website just because they discontinued their services. Obviously it is isn't new, this has been used by swindlers to trick would be businessman into buying the fake license without the hassle of paperwork.

Do we have some crypto casinos already that were punish due to scamming?

How reliable this Curacao license? are they really due diligence before granting a license to the casino applicants?
That's the question that needs to be answered, because if they do their job and there are casinos punish for scamming, then they are reliable.

If the perpetrators move to a different country, then I don't expect a small island nation such as Curaçao to have the diplomatic influence to force the extradition. And in all probability, the Curaçao authorities don't care. The victims belong to various foreign nations, and as long as the locals are not conned, the authorities will remain cold to the investigation. The only precaution we can take is to limit our participation to gambling sites that have a good reputation. Don't get fooled by generous promotional offers from shady sites.

Did a bit of research and it seems like any dispute about the user and the casino is outside the jurisdiction of Curacao. It's not that it's ignored, but rather it's just straight up outside of their decision making, they just give you a license and talk about the money, but that's it.

However, if you face an issue with a casino that is a Curacao licensee, you cannot expect the gambling regulator to take a stance on the matter. You will have to resolve the situation on your own and get in touch with the casino management. If your attempts turn fruitless, you can submit the case to the Curacao Licensing Board. You also have to present the communication you had with casino’s officials and explain the reason why you think you have been unfairly treated.

You even have to go straight up to the higher-ups just to talk about it, kind of a pain in the ass so might as well just go for other casinos tbh. Plus, I don't think local authorities would even care, even if their citizens are scammed. The license only operates on countries that allows gambling and most scams are pretty much the own of ones self. Ofc, if it were to grow into a big case, then that's a different issue.

License is good but reputation and good reviews are much better, the first thing I want to know on a new gambling site is their reputation and if there are no complaints or scam reports, this is for me the first sign if the site is worth playing, some gambling sites are faking their license and they can still scam you even if they have a legitimate license.

But if you put it in a second priority, that means that even if it's illegal as long as people are talking about it in a good term then you will play there? What if it plans to do an exit scam and that they are just letting a good show, I think license should be a priority too. Also, you can always find telltale signs if a gambling site is going to scam their customers.

If that gambling site is new but already has good reviews, maybe that is normal if that site does not have a license because they will try to get the license. They will prove to their members that the gambling site is legal because reputations really mean for them.

But if that is an old gambling site but do not have a license and has many good reviews, we still need to be careful because we do not know what will happen later. If you are too afraid of getting scam by the unlicensed gambling site, you do not have to try to play on that site, even if that site has many good reviews.

Shouldn't you get your license first before opening your business? I don't think that online gambling or any online businesses for that matter is going to be exempted from that thing. If there is a reason to be afraid then you should probably not play on it because your gut is telling you that something isn't right.

As usual, a good strategy is to go to the usual well known outlets. Also, those who advertise on this forum have a good incentive to be honest and fair as there is a possibility of opening a reputation thread, which does not happen with other on-line casinos. A platform that has signatures campaigns for example will be shut down if a number o people start complaining and also the managers and participants are staking their reputation in a way, so at least you got something more than a "licence from curacao" to trust.

It is better to have a license before opening the business, but we already see that sometimes, a new gambling site does not have a license and they invite a beta-tester to test and check their site. And as time goes, they will think about having a license, and they will register their site to get a license. That is what the gambling site owner will do if he really cares about his business in the gambling. Yes, it will better trust our feeling if we are not sure about the gambling site and search for the other sites.

From the previous replies, it looks as if a license is not going to prevent the scams in a big way. The screening system in Curaçao is not prefect and it doesn't prevent scamsters from getting a license. Curaçao authorities either doesn't have the resources to verify the information, or they are not interested in doing that. As user smyslov posted, a legitimate license from Curaçao doesn't guarantee that the promoters won't scam the clients. Better to limit our gambling activity to trusted and reputed sites.

This game-protect website is work of a manipulating scammer who is banned from bitcointalk forum, so don't trust anything you read there and just ignore it.
Curacao license is better than no license and many solid betting websites like Sportsbet, Stake and Betnomi have it.

That's right I think curacao license is pretty standard. It's better than who don't have license at all. Sportsbet, stake, betnomi are known sports betting website here in the forum who has a curacao license also Bitsler and fortunejack have a curacao license too. Still depends on which website you are playing but having a curacao license gives me and probably other users confidence that the website we are playing are safe.
