The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) is a foundation established on April 19, 1999, to regulate the gaming industry in Curaçao. This initiative followed the second Mutual Evaluation Report of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force in 1998. The CGA was officially designated as the regulatory body with the enactment of the National Ordinance on Games of Chance on December 24, 2025.
The CGA's vision is to ensure that all gaming activities in Curaçao are conducted honestly, responsibly, and free from criminal influences. Its mission focuses on protecting public interests and maintaining the integrity of the Curaçao gaming industry through regulation, licensure, and enforcement. This regulatory framework aims to enhance tourism and provide a significant source of revenue for the island.
Curaçao is an island in the southern Caribbean Sea, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with a population exceeding 160,000. The island has a diverse economy, with key sectors including tourism, international trade, and financial services. Curaçao is known for its multilingual population, with Dutch, English, and Papiamentu as the official languages.
