We started working with Max and his team over two years ago, right after getting our first Curaçao license. Since then, we’ve transitioned to GCB and now hold an Anjouan license. Along the way, we faced some challenges with documents, but Max’s team took care of everything. Max is more than just about licensing, he knows the right people in the industry and always gives professional advice. Moving to Anjouan was absolutely the right call, and we’re grateful for his guidance. Thank you, LicenseGentlemen!

Application process (two to four weeks)

1

Fit and Proper Check

With over 500 licenses behind us, we started processing 15 licenses for GCB Curacao within the first 48 hours of the deadline being announced. This gives us an advantage and the opportunity to assess the success of the application even before we start setting up a company. This is good for our clients because they don’t have to waste time and money. The result? Last year alone, we successfully obtained 152 licenses out of 152 applications. That’s a success rate of 100

2

Completion of the first package of documents

To speed up the application process, we put together the first package of documents required to start a business and do the necessary work to hire your Managing Director. By completing this step as quickly as possible, we can save time while preparing the second package of documents required for licensing.

3

Curacao company setup

At this point, we have all the necessary knowledge, documentation and other parameters required to set up a company. This usually happens within just one week of starting work. Your company in Curacao will be incorporated in accordance with all GCB requirements. Now we get down to business and appoint a director for your company. Now that all the variables are known, setting up a company usually takes seven business days, which is very important for companies that want to get to market as quickly as possible.

4

Licensing process

We work closely with the regulator to speed up the processing of your application and prevent it from getting bogged down in the bureaucratic queue. Thanks to our efficient approach, we can complete the approval process within a few weeks. However, the license compliance process is now more complex than under the previous regime and it’s critical to maintain control over compliance and promptly handle all regulatory inquiries to ensure a seamless path to the issuance of your license.

In an initial consultation, we’ll identify the most suitable payment agent company tailored to your specific requirements.

– Office Expenses: Operators are expected to maintain a physical office on the island of Curacao, contributing to higher overhead costs for those engaging in offshore games of hazard and online gaming in Curacao.
– Compliance Costs: Adhering to stringent local substance requirements necessitates additional investment in legal and compliance operations, especially for those holding a gaming license in Curacao.
