What a player risks

This jurisdiction licenses operators that mainly serve players in other markets. Its licence does not make play legal in the player's own country and does not replace a local licence where one is required. A player using such a site from a market where it is not licensed has no protection or dispute resolution from that market's regulator, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on the law of the player's own country, fines or prosecution may apply. The register records for Curaçao (CGA): Not applicable to residents: CGA licences mainly target foreign players; legality on the player's side depends on the country of residence (illegal or blocked in many countries: France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the United States, Spain, Australia, etc.).
