Licences behind casinos without a Spanish licence: Curaçao, Anjouan, Malta and Kahnawake

The rulebook · how each one is checked

A casino without a Spanish licence is not a casino without a licence: it holds one from another authority, and that licence is checked in a public register. Here are the four that come up most often, how to search each of them, and what we found for the 13 casinos in our table.

In the table of casinos without a Spanish licence, the first two boxes of the form are about the licence: that it is valid and that it names the domain. Here we explain how we check that, so you can do it yourself with any casino.

What we found in the table

Nine casinos on a Curaçao licence and four on an Anjouan one. None on Malta or Kahnawake. That is the norm among crypto casinos without a Spanish licence: those two authorities hold almost the whole market.

Curaçao: cert.cga.cw

The Curaçao gaming authority publishes its certificates at cert.cga.cw.

Certificate search page of the Curaçao Gaming Authority
cert.cga.cw is searched by domain or by company. If a casino plays on a Curaçao licence, its domain has to come up here.

How to search:

  1. Go to cert.cga.cw.
  2. Search by domain (no https, no www) or by company. The licence number does not work as a search term.
  3. Open the certificate.
Active Curaçao authority certificate for the domain cloudbet.com
Cloudbet's own record: Halcyon Super Holdings B.V., licence OGL/2024/328/0599, status Active. This is what a casino in order looks like in the register.

What to check:

  • Domain: the same one in your address bar.
  • Company: the one that appears in the casino's terms.
  • Licence number: in the form OGL/year/number.
  • Status: “Active”.

A real case: Vave's certificate names vavegame.com, not vave.com. Search for vave.com and you will not find it. When the domain does not match, search by company and check that the casino names that other domain as its own.

Anjouan: the register with an expiry date

Anjouan publishes a public register filtered by casino or company name. Unlike the Curaçao one, it shows an expiry date.

Anjouan public register showing Rakebit's licence as valid
Anjouan licences carry an expiry date in plain sight. Rakebit's, ALSI-202602030-FI2, runs to 17.02.2027.

The licences we saw run for a year. In September 2026, Wild Fortune's expires on the 29th, and those of Coins.Game and CoinCasino in October and November. That is why all three lose half a point in the table: you can deposit today at a casino whose licence will not be current next month.

Malta and Kahnawake

None of the 13 casinos in the table holds these licences, but they turn up at other casinos:

  • Malta (MGA): the Maltese authority publishes a register of licensees on its site, with company, domains and status.
  • Kahnawake: the Kahnawake gaming commission, in Canada, also keeps a public list of its holders.

The rule is the same for all four: if the domain you play on does not appear in the register of the authority the casino claims, that licence is worth nothing to you.

Five mistakes when checking a licence

  1. Trusting the logo in the site footer. It is an image; anyone can put one there.
  2. Searching by number in Curaçao. It does not work: search by domain or company.
  3. Not looking at the date in Anjouan.
  4. Confusing similar domains: a hyphen or one extra letter can be a different site altogether.
  5. Forgetting to look again. A licence that is valid today may not be in three months.

After the licence

The licence is the foundation, not the whole match. Then come the rules: when they verify, how much they pay and which countries they turn away. The written limits are in withdrawal limits, and the full method is in how we choose.

Active Curaçao authority certificate for the domain betfury.io
BetFury appears as betfury.io, held by Universe B Games B.V., licence issued on 31.07.2025 and active on 19.09.2026.

Frequently asked questions

Which licence do casinos without a Spanish licence hold?
Almost always Curaçao or Anjouan. In our table, nine casinos hold a Curaçao licence and four an Anjouan one. None holds a Malta or a Kahnawake licence.
How do I check a Curaçao licence?
At cert.cga.cw, searching by domain or by company. The certificate has to name the domain you play on and show the status Active.
What is special about an Anjouan licence?
Its register shows an expiry date, and the licences we saw run for a year. You have to check it is not about to expire: Wild Fortune's runs out on 29 September 2026.
