Is antillephone a legit Curacao casino Validator?

[Daltonik]

The mechanism of checking the Curacao license is not entirely clear, for example, if you go from the site sportsbet.io on the verification page by clicking on the license icon, you will see the original license and certificate data, but if the same link https://verification.curacao-egaming.com/validateview.aspx?domain=sportsbet.io just paste it into the address bar on a new page, then you will receive the Status : UNLICENSED message.

Here's what we see when we click through from the online casino website sportsbet.io


What happens if you just use the link https://verification.curacao-egaming.com/validateview.aspx?domain=sportsbet.io


However, on the dynamic search page https://www.curacao-egaming.com/public-and-players/authenticity license sportsbet.io it is defined as valid without problems.

I was looking at some new casinos, and they have in the footer the Curacao Verification link which is:

https://validator.antillephone.com/validate?domain=solcasino.io&seal_id=3339d16b553866af527ca2120220de9b460a29ac211b9eb03ae19d9a5f1b2a895cede836bdc27f8a36a6ef426329ca41&stamp=966d40510f41e10e294ca5e2c8b45799

But here comes the thing... if we visit antillephone.com they don't have a site, and if we visit https://validator.antillephone.com it only says "Can't verify user".

Is not the first time i see that verification in gambling sites, but i want to know if they are legit. And if they are legit how do users contact them to get the verification to their crypto site?

The Curacao eGaming Authority is a well-known and legitimate regulatory body in the online gambling industry.
As for the Antillephone.com website, the website may have been taken down or is undergoing maintenance.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the Curacao eGaming Authority is not legitimate. Therefore, I think you must contact them again to readress your issue.

I wonder if this has been done on purpose to confuse people and to get them to believe that unlicensed casinos are actually operating under a valid Curacao license?

Did anyone contact the Curacao license board to see if this is a legit validator? I have also seen some casinos using some sort of sub-license agreement to operate several casinos under one license.

Antillephone is not legit!

Multiple casinos claiming to operate under the 8048/JAZ license scammed me!

As you say crypto site, this license does not cover crypto currencies.

Yes many scammy offshore/crypto casinos are operating from Curacao with those dubious sub-licenses given to almost anyone without any control, that's why Curacao is ending this system and is replacing it with a new one with licenses now given directly by the curaçaoan gambling authorities, the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (aka GCB) that will become the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) soon.

The government of Curacao is in the process of modernizing its gambling legislation to bring it in line with international standards and to adopt a responsible gaming policy that spans all gaming activities that are and will be licensed in the jurisdiction.

Based on this new legislation, the GCB will be converted into a new independent licensing and supervisory authority for all games of chance.

The first gaming sector to be legalized under this new law shall be remote gaming.

The current Curacao gambling regime is considered one of the most liberal in the world, with low costs, minimal requirements, and not much in the way of supervision or scrutiny. The changes put forward by the Curacao government include:

• The establishment of the Curacao Gaming Authority to oversee all licensing and gaming operations;
• The issuance of B2C licenses and B2B licenses for operators;
• Licensing fees start at EUR 4000 for an application, EUR 12,000 a year once approved, and EUR 250 per month for each URL;
• At least three employees were hired into key positions and located on the island;
• Enhanced monitoring and anti-money laundering controls.

This is good news. As I understand it, a lot of licenses are currently given out as sub-licenses and can be acquire with nothing more than money. It's about time that the gambling authority stepped in to invalidate past licenses and implement a better system. I hope that they don't just hand them out without strict oversight.
